Do you know what the oldest known peices of artwork are? Cave paintings, some dude thousands of years ago who felt the need to leave his mark. Now flash forward to modern day. Look around you. How many large blank areas of wall do you see? Those should all be covered in something. Stickers, gum, posters, and many other possibilities spring to my mind. Not just by my art or anyone's art in particular. I feel it should be covered by everyone's art. Personally my favorite pieces of art I've ever seen are the little battle scenes used to draw in our grade school notebooks. We may have gone and gotten slightly more educated but we're pretty much at that same place mentally. We still watch cartoons more often than regular people our age. We still skate the hills in our neighborhood at all hours of the night. In the immortal words of Andrew W.K., "we do what we like and we like what we do." Admittedly we're not the best at what we do, but we learn from each other and everyone else. Long incoherent rambling aside, that should give you some sort of glimpse inside of our barely functioning heads.
