Don’t you just want to casually brush off that shoulder strap?

From loyal customer Anna comes this. She says, over twitter: “I see your twiggy writers (great gams!) & raise you Adorno at the beach. #adorno #aesthetictheory #gams,” which is a nice collection of hashtags. Adorno in a one-piece bathing costume trumps Faulkner by far. Take that, Housing Works!

Chuck Close on creativity

The rest of this quote is glorious as well:
“Inspiration is for amateurs — the rest of us just show up and get to work. And the belief that things will grow out of the activity itself and that you will — through work — bump into other possibilities and kick open other doors that you would never have dreamt of if you were just sitting around looking for a great ‘art idea.’ And the belief that process, in a sense, is liberating and that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every day. Today, you know what you’ll do, you could be doing what you were doing yesterday, and tomorrow you are gonna do what you did today, and at least for a certain period of time you can just work. If you hang in there, you will get somewhere.”

Normally I dont reblog these things, but this has been especially true to me this year.

100%

Adding to this with Nick Cave’s quote
“Inspiration is a word used by people who aren’t really doing anything. I go into my office every day that I’m in Brighton and work. Whether I feel like it or not is irrelevant.” Inspiration is nice, but if you only work when it strikes, you’re going to be an unhappy artist. This is especially true if you want to earn a living at it; you don’t hear about surgeons getting “surgeon’s block” or garbage men getting “garbage men’s block.” There are assuredly days when the surgeon doesn’t want to be removing gall-bladders, but she does it anyway, because that’s her job.”

Oh this is extra excellent.
