some are from an abstract photo assignment, some are just goofy. I doubt I need to differentiate the two.

some random art I've done lately

Hello Folks,
been awhile since I've posted anything, that's just how it goes sometimes though.
Lately my time has been spent working on required school stuff and the resulting time left over has found better things to do than this, mostly the basic survival requirements.
I have been spending a great deal of the time thinking though, about my art, mostly future art that I'm not doing.
Slowly I've been going down the rabbit hole that is comics, Dan Clowes and Chris Ware have been the two most worth mentioning.
To fit in this exposure to art, my biggest indulgence for free time lately has been getting a jog in or two to eventually work myself back into shape with the immediate goal of running 5 miles straight. As part of this goal to distract my mind from stopping mid-run constantly, I've been reading comics while I'm on the treadmill. It works pretty well, and I also get to think about other people's art, comics, and how it might inspire mine.
Nothing has really been made yet as a result though.
I've been thinking about internal monologue a lot. That is an aspect of Dan Clowes and Chris Ware's work that I really like, and how free of bullshit their work is.
That is something I've been thinking about with my photography lately, too. Revealing the Bullshit and art's subjectivity.
Especially fine art. I think that is tinged with a little cynicism on my part, but I do think I'm onto something.
What is high art, low art, relevant or absolutely atrocious? I have my opinions, but that's all they are. Opinions.
Now the impending job is to articulate them properly and maybe make some sort of a "statement" that will "prove" my art work as thought provoking relevant crap.
Evoke the side-affects of art, damn it.
I think that shall be my next project.
