Everything we do is art, even off-kilter images.
But at least we have the arts, right? Many drawings are going to be wrong in the end, but you have to start somewhere.

Adam and Eve try to depict the inner emotional life through form and colour, rather than depicting objective reality, but they don’t take art too seriously.
A life spent making daydreams is more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
Return to the practice of older days when practice of visual arts was not yet divorced from modern theories of aesthetics.
W.J.T. Mitchell, Picture Theory, p.377
Spiders fight the dehumanization of art. Good art wards off evil spirits.
Life is fluid like Chinese ink, art is simple, each work is both question and answer. Smart artworks hope you all are doing well where truth ends and poetry begins.
We are not just computers. Art only transcends space and time to make difficult truths more digestible. Life is short, painting oily.
Good riddance to minimalism, perfection kills everything but the subconscious decisions that coalesce into what we call a painting. Art is important because everything we do is art.
Etchings that blend the human and natural worlds bring life like a hyacinth emerging in the undergrowth while also conveying an enduring love for printmaking as an expression rooted in the essence of life. I never knew art could be so fun.
Our happiest drawings are mixed with sadness, but slow art make us all happy anyway.
A ton of information per day that would be the total amount of information consumed in a lifetime in a world dominated by a flood of digital images. It's fine to go looking for a difference between art and science but do not worry if you don't find it.
Meanwhile, life goes on with chillike imagery: In true art, there is only idealism. Don't hang your hat on these numbers just yet, too much calculating, not enough pondering, unable to explain the fascination of what's difficult.

A simple linear narrative describing the development of this site no longer seemed to hold water because any thing we make is expected sinking quickly like a stone thrown into a quiet pond. What should be seen, or not.
A box of frogs works, art gaze is crazy as life, good paintings are opportunistic predators.
The charm of mythical and dreamy things is everywhere.
Nature alone is the greatest art. Please leave it alone. Drawing too much is not enough. Museums now face an uncertain path forward, with neither liberal virtue-signaling nor anti-woke irony offering much hope for meaningful art.
Art doesn’t solve problems, art is a trip into another dimension. Galleries are filled with living things and they cannot be allowed to grow wild or they will cease to exist. Quirky naive art should be an expression of the mind. All that is true is unpretentious.
The takeaway is simple: There is no why, it is art. Avoid information overload when you can, pictures are allowed to show emotion, and they don’t hold back. Fast snails bring you impressions from haptic experience of art.
