Art questions February 2023

 

 The Fall of the House of Usher (1960)

Q: What is the hardest thing to draw?

A: Eyes. We detect and read minuscule movements in the eyes and eyelids. We look into eyes to see if anyone's there. To see what's going on.

Technique alone is not enough to bring a drawing to life. Creating expressive eyes is a good way to exhibit artistic energy, whether they're realistic or non-realistic.

Carheart by Virus - 20 weird years

 

It took me too long to discover Ved Buens Ende and discovering Virus took even longer.

Like Snorre Ruch from Thorns, Carl-Michael Eide is one of the best guitarists in the world. Carheart is still my favourite from Virus.

Art questions January 2023

  

Q: Have you ever used drugs?

A: No. As an artist you face the real challenge when you are awake, sober and sane.

The last ten years have been the most creative. I have been on medication the whole time. It's not the highest dosage, but I wouldn't be here without it.

Most people who talk about medication and creativity don't know what they're talking about.

Figuring out the right medication and the right dosage takes time. If you feel like you're being less creative, don't just blame the medication.

If you have a mental illness, DO NOT TURN DOWN ALL MEDICATION AUTOMATICALLY. I cannot stress this enough.

Ten albums to be released next year

  

Five was just expanded to ten.

Albums 21 to 30 will be released each month in 2023. I'm making music under three different names. Everything is created by me.

This is my life and I'm going to be as creative as possible. And when I'm surrounded by people who clearly don't care about it, I want to be even more creative.

In 2023 I'm also recording my first audio commentary for a film.

Art questions December 2022

Q: What's the dumbest thing anyone has ever said about art?

A: I was in an art gallery and someone was talking about German expressionism. He apparently wasn't ready for the intensity.

This person hated expressionism and said that the artists were probably just trying to deal with their "war traumas". Then he laughed. He did a smug laugh.

That's one of the dumbest things ever said.

These people went through two world wars. We have no idea what that's like. These artists suffered immensely in Nazi Germany. They had to leave their home country and a lot of them died.

You don't just paint landscapes and greeting card illustrations. You're going to use your freedom. Your freedom as a human being. As much as possible. Turning off your emotions is not a good idea.

You're going to tell the truth about reality in the form of ideas.

Decline of the Western Civilization, Part 8 - Misspent Energy
