That’s why art matters.

That’s why art matters. Because it represents a world without clear answers.

Tonight there was an event going on near where I live, and I could hear some pretty tasty drumming coming from somewhere among the masses.

But like, REALLY FUCKING TASTY DRUMMING. I was following the beat with my hands on the window frame until I just HAD to go take their pictures.

Willie (above), is an incredibly talented drummer who brings his whole set to the streets when there are lots of people walking around. You’ll hear him at most of Cincinnati Downtown’s populated events, drumming the cold away. Literally though, it was like 30F at 1.30am when I came out to take his picture.

“We were destined to rule forever.”

I don’t know about you, but I grew up during the Reagan 80′s, read lots of spy fiction about the Evil Empire, and then watched it Fall. The following decade, without a counter-balance to our consumptive power, we grew rich and cocky. We were destined to rule forever, with our democracy, our free markets, and our muscle cars. Made in Michigan.

“it’s a lot easier to teach style than substance”

My students, all young, had turned in an assignment of self-portraits, and the level of stylistic sophistication was pretty advanced. Very fashionable.
