I was reading this great interview with an accomplished artist who called out those people that can’t draw proper but only work on the computer and nothing else. I used to spend 90% of my “art” time using my hands in our world. These days with the occupation I have I find myself spending close [...]

Utah Phillips was an amazing story teller and folk musician that made me think a little deeper about the ailments of society and life. There is a good bio/obituary in the LA times if you want to get to know him a little more. I highly recommend the album of his spoken word that Ani [...]
