If you just go for 40ish minutes, you get the perfect dose of āinspo-intelā without overdoing it. So many times Iāve felt inspired but then killed it by going for too long because in the end you really can only absorb so much. If you make the visit shorter, you have time to actually go to studio directly after and āwork it outā with your enlightened eyeballs. Plus when you treat it like a more frequent activity you start to have a more intimate relationship with the paintings on view. Itās the closest thing to actually owning a masterpiece.Ā

The commission Iāve been grinding this month has mostly been done in coffee shops (I will share when I can pi.fyi, Iām very excited about it) but then I remembered I have shitty coffee at home that works fine and that I have a great art museum close by. When itās nice out Iāve got giant iron sculptures surrounding me. If itās not I ām making art next to the brain children of Albers and Richters and Dutch masters I canāt be bothered to memorize the names of. As inspiring as bad first dates and banal gossip is to me (not sarcasm, it fuels me) the great art and serene atmosphere is even more inspiring. Highly recommend

I recommend an exhibition/gallery/museum for a first friend date. You get to talk about what you're looking at and what you like and what you don't and that leads to loads of tangent conversation opportunities. And you can have a coffee after and walk around a bit and decide what you would buy from the gift shop if you had unlimited money. Plus you can pick up the listings and find another show you want to go to and plan a second friend date!

āAn artist cannot speak about his art anymore than a plant can discuss horticulture.ā
āListen carefully to first criticisms made of your work. Note just what it is about your work that critics don't like - then cultivate it. That's the only part of your work that's individual and worth keeping.ā
āLiving is a horizontal fall.ā
āArt produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with timeā
āArt is science made clear.ā
āMirrors should think longer before they reflect.ā

Depends on the theatre
At new bev, I need to be very front row
At Los Feliz 3, second to last/middle or very back
Honestly tall people should not be allowed to sit in first few rows and hats should be forbidden
