I'm feeling kind of tired of art again...I went to the new ICA in Boston and it seemed absurd to be standing in these windowless rooms staring at squares of paper when the ocean was right outside.

I feel like my paintings are embarrassingly straight-forward and my photos aren't "processed" enough (scanning in a print doesn't have the same appeal of painting every single stroke of the image.)

There's so many images out there it's difficult to figure out why you're making your own, sometimes I feel like I can do little more than only glance at even my favorite artist's work before something else comes into the picture.

There were many people who have said and who say that art is a waste of time...

J, there will be times of inspiration and times where you question the things you do. But you know this already.
No artist should ever be satisfied with his or her own art, there's always more in the world.
