Meanwhile... it's bird flu season. I'm working on a doozy. Going in for the win, guys!
I have been doodling at work. With the schoolwork piling up, and my brain reacting with "overload! automatic shutdown! please reboot!" I have spent, if not large amount of time, certainly more time than I should, ignoring the contents of my inbox, and creating little abstract line drawings.
On Wednesday, a client came into the office and saw what I was doing and said "Hey! That's art! You should keep all of those. You should have them framed. You could sell that."
I did my little embarrassed "it's just doodling, please don't tell my boss" shuffle (not that my boss isn't a nice guy, I'm just angling for a raise), but he was very insistant. And about our clients? They're very wealthy New Yorkers. It's not worth arguing with them when it comes to things they think are worth money. Even if I think it's the most pointless, juvenille scribbling in the world.
And somewhere in here, I can't help but make the joke that these abstract line drawings are probably no less audience accessable than that which I've been writing and calling "poetry".
So now I've added visual art to my artistical undertakings. And here after I spent the summer attempting to learn illustration precisely under the guise of "it's not, like, wall art, or anything".
Oh well. I guess if Dali can write a novel, I can make a wall painting.
(And if it's not very good... well, neither was Dali's novel.)
