RECLINE INTO DECLINE
Sometimes its fun to compare being a visual artist with being a musician because you worry about shit like 2nd album jitters and thinking of new material - and galleries are kind of like record companies except not as big - but they still try to own you and screw you over. When you really think about it though - being a musician would be a million times cooler. Probably because its really youth oriented and so you make the covers of magazines and shit and people want to interview you and want to hang out with you. Whereas the high art fans are the more conservative crowd - and even if young kids love your shit they can't afford it - and the people who can afford it don't get it and you don't want them to anyway.
I almost forgot how much of an uninspiring cultural wasteland Australia can be. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to be back, I mean, this cold weather is amazing - but there was so much more going on in Tokyo and Bangkok. The kids all had their shit going on.
I'm really good at making up excuses as to why I'm not making any new work. Can you tell? Maybe if I diverted some of that energy into actually doing something productive I could get more notoriety, maybe even have an exhibition (one day), make all my money back and return to Tokyo.
My old work is too old to put in a show now. Since when was making new work such a draaaaaaaaaaag I thought artists were supposed to be coming upw ith new shit all the time. "I am always writing songs, either for the band or just for myself, its a process that just comes to me" Bah! Drawing still sux0rz. I rely on photos too much.
