Well, okay, a poster is probably more in line with my budget. But.
I LOVE seeing the art on Tumblr and elsewhere. Because the world is in a bad way right now, and the internet is full of calls to action and desperate, passionate pleas for people to Do Something About It.
It’s important to Do Something About It.
But I also need to be able to Live With It. And that’s where art comes in. It gives me something peaceful and lovely to look at. Or something that helps me make sense of how I’m feeling. Or an affirmation that I’m not the only one feeling these weird and frequently conflicted emotions. Art reminds me that there is, in fact, great beauty in the world and in the people who inhabit it.
Art lets me know that it is worth Doing Something About It, and it helps me find the mental and emotional energy to make that effort.
So, yeah. I want to see what you’ve been working on.
