I feel I should make a kind of introduction of sorts before moving forward with such an outward display of my own personal reflections relevant to the team at Station Four.
Time and again, with weary consideration, I mull and brood over this thing called Art. And a broody brood I am at that. This whole love/hate relationship I’ve developed over the years spent surrounded, touched, and ultimately wounded by my beloved Art, with prospects now of permanent scarring, has left me with quite a stranglehold on this one single quote…
“Why do I always get so surly when I talk about this industry?”
These being the words of a fellow artist friend of mine, a comic book illustrator who happens to be one of the few people I know more impassioned by the subject of art than myself.
You see, my humility barely enables me to consider myself an aspiring artist let alone an actual, no kidding, artist. I am but a mere infant in comparison to the legitimate artists and masters of the art field. So please take whatever I say with a grain of salt, as one should with any opinion of art and design, annnnd perhaps the occasional opposition on highly overrated contemporary pop movies (ehem… Superbad). Sometimes something really can be summed up simply by the very words of its title. Then again, my company’s name is called Bad Art Graphics. Oh Irony, how relentless your pursuit to make me out to be a complete ass.
I digress. Sure, so my surliness is bound to rear it’s head on this blog space from time to time, but an ugly head, I assure you, it is not. Luckily for you, my written word tends to carry much more diplomacy than my spoken, thanks to the magic of editing and more so out of dutiful respect to the very fine readers of this blog space.
Thank you for your time and enjoy…
