I think I like the colorful one too. And...Thanks!!! I think I like the colorful one too. And thanks for the link, Luca; I was actually just re-reading the chapter in Doom Patrols that references Derrida, so I'm excited to check this out. I actually think I agree that the dissonance/anxiety isn’t necessarily a bad thing; and in any case it isn’t going away so might as well learn to deal with it. That’s where I think it can be a productive force, and it has definitely worked for me as fuel for creation, action, growth, etc; even inspiring this illustration! In many ways I’m just a hopeless idealist, even when I don’t want to be, so maybe I will always be a bit more angsty than average about all this. At least then I get to be a tortured artist! Hot!<br /><br />Also, I might actually like to see your take on pokemon, I've always felt pikachu could use a swastika. :)Matt Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11430433217723241610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430146383090574349.post-76833138307091122742010-10-17T15:34:13.965-07:002010-10-17T15:34:13.965-07:00holy shit this one is my favorite! especially the ...holy shit this one is my favorite! especially the second one with the blue. prob cause it`s more patriotic. amazing design on this one, I really love the way the flag flows in the back!<br />about the dissonance of identity and ideas, if you strip off all political connotations (which are just concerned with this very instant in history and therefore easily dismissible) I don`t think it`s such a bad thing, just the way we work. One of my all time fav quotes from my bro Derrida: "coherence in contradiction expresses the force of a desire". reduce every human issue to a sterile theoretical problem! embrace the dissonance! all hail Beelzebub! read that shit:<br /><br />http://hydra.humanities.uci.edu/derrida/sign-play.html <br /><br />now I have to post something good on my blog instead of the pokemon retrospective I had plannedLucahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06490475146260588709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430146383090574349.post-8512142057896014962010-10-17T15:28:49.315-07:002010-10-17T15:28:49.315-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lucahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06490475146260588709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430146383090574349.post-57560310135934747102010-10-12T17:53:42.589-07:002010-10-12T17:53:42.589-07:00hahaha very nice, good gesture and nice tension or...hahaha very nice, good gesture and nice tension or torment in the character.Jaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15796976977217232293noreply@blogger.com
