Maps & Snapshots
My problem, you see, is that I want to be understood.
It's just that when I think about it, my favorite artists aren't the ones who spell things out. I believe an artist's role is to go into the dark jungle and bring something back for the villagers. Some bring back a map, instructions on how to get there. Others bring back snapshots, visions of what it looks like when you get there. My favorite artists bring back snapshots, but for some reason I'm always drawing maps.
Does that make sense?
Wait, there I go again. . .
