the one that makes me scream
okay, and maybe a little social justice, cultural criticism and blind rants re: everything that pisses me off.

Materials don’t make the artist. They may respond better to manipulation and use, but they won’t make you Kent Williams or Gerald Scarfe. I’ve been thinking lately about all the awesome people I know who use bics and do wonderful work with them, and I think that is up to having no sense of preciousness about your tool. When you can get a pen from anywhere, it doesn’t matter to you and you can press and push and really use that sucker up. If it costs a lot, an artist may be more precious with their pen. Being precious will get you nowhere. I did my portraits with cheap pens for a while, and they didn’t turn out. But now that I’ve returned to pencils and watercolors, which are generally correctable mediums, I can see how much I’ve improved. Use cheap pens, make tons of mistakes, learn from them. Don’t worry about a line being there forever, learn from that line for the next time you make a line. Mediums are just a tool to convey something. What is more important, spending six dollars on a pen or making an awesome image? I used Copics when I was a teenager and ink washes and microns when I got into my twenties. The latter was much cheaper and I was much better because, with ink, I had to learn and correct mistakes and take chances and go with the flow. With markers I knew exactly what I would get every time, and that doesn’t exactly foster adventure. I still have my copics, but I have so much more because of not precious materials. So put your expensive stuff away, and get out that pen you stole from the dentist office and play. Don’t worry so much. Just draw draw draw.

Don’t ask me why I’m filing this under “Thesis Year,” but there’s something here, and I have some thought about it…I just haven’t brought that thought to the surface.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Pretty much. Although, I’ve never gotten a hand cramp from drawing. I’m more likely to get one from carrying around a camera all day long, or from performing.
