A famous composer once said, and studied this fact, studied the absurdity of the human condition, wondered why so much in the world had to be black and white, he didn't believe this fact looked at every under lying layer, why people work, the work people do, the evils of the corperate consumerist world, his name is Alfred Brendel, a fabulous piano player, but also a thinker the culture interiewed him and his favourite subject in the world, is the nonsence in the world.This got me thinking why do I do what I do, where did it all start. Why was inclined to sing, I'm presuming church, guitar was probably to attempt to impress peers, and art was self indulgent, well was it isn't anymore. I've got some ideas for books, combining my love of poetry with illustration, my pal Ryan, is doing this maybe a combined project at some point because our work is so different, so could be interesting.
Another idea I have is i'm going to make a little humourous guide called "how to survive awkward situations" basically do How to guides on peculiar things, using clips from public safety films then collaging new ideas on top, take own photographs, possibly Il do this after my ambitious waiting for waits Tom Waits talking to Him self, thinking that could be a combination of a little performance me as Tom Waits in a waiting room, combined with old film clips not sure how il develop that in my Big Book taking screen shots as I go.
