Statement

Art Statement

There is a down turn and sometimes things only seam to be on a up turn, and Sometimes you feel that what you're doing is exciting, but in turns in to a lame and boring task that you can't get your mind around. I believe everything should be embraced, including the good, the bad, and the ugly, but to what extent? My Art was an incredible adventure, in to the world of the unknown, and a great expression of what I held inside. Now it has turned in to something mandatory, stale, almost like a 9-5. I express the daily dread so that I can transcend it. I don't mean to cause any trouble, and I don't want to make you mad. What is the Glory of Art in the age of Internet and instantaneous gratification? Sure I believe that there would be a break through with what I do, but for now the methods of getting there is all Greek to me, and Greek it is. I try to sample the ancient and mix it hip-hop style, mix everything of what I like to alchemically reach the point where I can believe in that line of work that will be glorious enough for everyone to admire. The pursuit of coming up with something that's truly unique is the challenge for Artist in the 21st century, but in time it will be expressed, and hopefully someone will get to the Rest Stop soon enough on the high way of this creative expression. Art and culture will not progress unless someone is willing to say, hey I am tired of this, let's do something else, and maybe I am at that point.
