Having been someone who spent some decent coin on trying to hone my fine art skills at a credited educational institution, I sometimes get myself caught in thinking about what is or is not art. I worry about the fact that certain skill sets can become obsolete, thanks to computers making art for you. Instagram for example, all of the sudden everyone is a photographer. I think it's the ease of whipping out your (eeeasy...) iPhone and snapping a pic of anything and making it look pretty nice. There is also the constant need to merge your real and digital life with other people who are just always trying to one up everyone else in saying, "That's pretty cool, but look what I'm doing faggot! #imcooler". Now, I can't say that I'm not guilty of this also... But guys, I only do it when I'm drunk, so... back off alright. Anywhozles, I just really wanna get to blogging a bit more here than I have been in the last couple months. I just havent had muFuckin' time... So here is my .5 seconds invested in being an dime store Instagram photographer while stuck in soul crushing traffic this past week, the textures in the concrete and road surface is what does it for me here, I can get lost in those for hours... but also I am on mushrooms.

Insta-Art! No. 1
