Response to Design=Heart? article...

... really don't know what to say other than i agree with Stefan. Actually all forms of art, both mainstream and off-the-cuff, can greatly influence the emotions of the masses. isn't that what we as artists strive for?  emotional connection to our art...at least that is what i strive for with my art. i find that all i may really be searching for is reaction as opposed to action, leaving the "action" to the viewer to carry out as they see fit, wether they know so or not.

I may not really be hitting on anything with this response, but it seems to make sense to me.

further info on the article in question can be found via search under the tags: design issues, Design=Heart?, and the author of the article Carolyn McCarron Sienicki.

Thats all for now.

...until then...

let the games begin...

well i figured it was about time to get this whole blog thing going. don't really know what to say other than the fact i am ready to get this final semester over here at the Art Academy. not that i don't like the place, hell i've been here for close to 5 years now, its just time for me to move on to new frontiers. hopefully this thing will help get contacts and get the ball rollin'!!!!
working on thesis materials is taking it outta me, but i am more prepared for this semester than i was last. this should keep me going in the right direction.changing some things in terms of the actual artwork, moving the imagery from an altar to the altar of the body gives me a more concrete understanding as to why i am working with the imagery of heaven, hell, creation, death, and consciousness. tying in my own personal history also give me a feel that i am coming closer to the answers i seek.

who are we?
where do we come from?
why do we fear death?

maybe soon i will be able to answer these questions for myself.
...until then...

This is a test....

...of the emergency art system...this is only a test.
