Hank Moody (Californication) on net speak
Radio Show Host: What's your latest obsession?
Hank Moody: Just the fact that people seem to be getting dumber and dumber. You know, I mean we have all this amazing technology and yet computers have turned into basically four figure wank machines. The internet was supposed to set us free, democratize us, but all it's really given us is Howard Dean's aborted candidacy and 24 hour a day access to kiddie porn. People... they don't write anymore, they blog. Instead of talking, they text, no punctuation, no grammar: LOL this and LMFAO that. You know, it just seems to me it's just a bunch of stupid people pseudo-communicating with a bunch of other stupid people at a proto-language that resembles more what cavemen used to speak than the King's English.
Radio Show Host: Yet you're part of the problem, I mean you're out there blogging with the best of them.
Hank Moody: Hence my self-loathing.

Definitely one of the most accurate at the very least. I use this quote often when teaching my issues + images class

this is awkward, but I think I need to credit...
I just noticed that while I make every effort to credit the art I post, I never credit myself when I post my own work. This wasn’t a problem when I was starting this tumblr, but now that I have followers (?) who occasionally reblog my work (?) and I stumble across it with my text, no link and no credit elsewhere on the web (with no intent to deceive as far as I can see).
so I guess I have...

cut paper thoughts re: new work
pictorial invention.
efforts to revive
records of my life
far removed from the feeling
unromantic thought landscapes
the structures become the ideas and formulations, accumulating experiences
impetus and movement, series and rhythms, metamorphoses
contemplative monochrome seeks the circumference like a mechanic
thus formed, the structures reference calligraphy
a written line
text and bits...

thinking about drawing...
With marks encapsulating moments rather than attempting to contain a thought, or describe a space.
…where drawing functions as documentation of existence and presence rather than cognition.
