relevant? maybe...

I definitely remember typing essays by typewriter all the way through elementary school.  click click click click click whoosh diing click clickclick click click whoosh ding!
 5th grade was the first time I had ever written an essay by computer, and it took me a really long time. It was awesome though. I could erase things without having to use our fancy whiteout button and waiting for it to dry. I remember my family's first computer... a PC, desktop. It took up a lot of room in the room and it was always very very hot. I used it for two things... to write essays, and to look this up:
on repeat. over and over and over and over and over again.

I'm not willing to say that what "we" (artists) are doing is irrelevant, but what if (considering the human race does not actually get wiped out in the near future) our generation is actually going to be known for... videos! Video games, photoshop illustrations, that stuff... things that are meant to be passed along digitally. Things that can reach the other side of the world before you can blink... maybe its not actually important to "slow down the processing of information"

so i'm just going to keep on making more and more and more and more of the same exact thing... in hopes that somehow more can justify the need to draw with pen and paper.
as long as i think its fun... never hurts to play, right?
