>besides, your self-destruct plan is a piece of garbage, pseudo-absurdist, ultimately very self-centered and dramaqueen-tier
So what you're saying is I should run for President?

>you are still mixing colors wrong
I mean I'm mixing them "right" by my own annoying autism standards. A lot of the overarching production design are the lyrics from Lateralus by tool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uoG8yy5s78

>Then
>White Are
>All I See
>In My Infancy
>Red and Yellow then came to me
etc it's a fibonnacci pattern.

The first year was all about misusing black paint and over saturation of water on untreated canvas and stuff, mostly done with graphite transfer onto the canvas from a printed image. Starting from a place of absolute ignorance of acrylic painting.

Second year is all about misusing whites and gessos and retarders and glosses mixed into the pigments to goof around with texturing and thickness and opacity and whatever, with (mostly) absolutely zero black paint used.

So like on the paintings that were started in year one with all the blacks, like >>3574233 for instance, that then got redone on in year 2, I'm finna keep the black void of the mouth and exposed canvas teeth for entropy and meta porpoises or whatever idk. Even if I work on it every year it builds around and off of the mistakes I already made. Technically the first act has all just been designed as an interconnected stream of consciousness kind of avoidant explosion to avoid having to finish a painting instructional video I started production on in January 2017.

With my feet upon the ground
I lose myself between the sounds
And open wide to suck it in
I feel it move across my skin
I'm reaching up and reaching out
I'm reaching for the random or
Whatever will bewilder me
Whatever will bewilder me
And following our will and wind
We may just go where no one's been
We'll ride the spiral to the end
And may just go where no one's been
Spiral out, keep going
Spiral out, keep going
Spiral out, keep going
Spiral out, keep going

>Imagine swallowing propaganda hook line and sinker like this.
You don't have to imagine anything. You're literally swallowing Russian propaganda every day of your life. Notice how you use whataboutism reflexively. That is primarily what active measures is about.

Have you ever considered that the people that want people to trust their lies would tell them that everything critical of them is "propaganda?" Why do you think that honest people would tell you not to trust anyone but them?

>Goddamn you must be literally <80IQ.
Have you had an IQ test administered?

It's always interesting to me how the dumbest people always grasp at the idea of IQ as some overwhelmingly meaningful thing. IQ is largely a bullshit meme that tests your ability to take a test. Anyone that is kind of smart can study and prime their mind for basically everything in an IQ test and improve their "raw intelligence" probably by an entire standard deviation if they really wanted to. The more you study intelligence and the efforts to qualify it, the more you realize how lame the IQ is for anything other than basic I/O applications.

Steven Hawking put it best: "People who boast about their IQ are losers."

How do you feel about who you choose to be as a person? Do you spend a lot of time thinking about suicide? Is that something you're considering? You shouldn't. Your life can get less shitty if you let it.

If we mean like thematically or metaphorically or whatever, it's all connected to the idea of contextualizing absurd or silly human behavior and memetics from the perspective of the "future historian" concept. It's capturing internet shit on a "traditional" physical format in a way that I intend to both respect while actively subverting the traditional means by which "art" has been presented throughout most of human history. The internet is the greatest subversion of humanity and the biggest divergence of the path of the human species in history, and we get to exist at the dawn of it. That's fucking neat. Might as well catch some of it on some fucking cheap canvas before the species catastrophically self-destructs. It's future evidence.

Or that's kind of the bit at least. It is also kind of just some hipster bullshit to make digital memes analog maaaan. It is also kind of just a cynical attempt to build a business by pandering to internet culture shit with a medium that normies agree is "art" so that rich people can then agree is "worth laundering their money with."

And from a practical perspective, paint is paint. It's a production and it's a product immediately. It's something on a canvas. It dries quick and every time you fuck up you it's part of it in some way or another. I like the irony that for most of history the value of art was determined by how well it reflected real life, then the camera was invented and art became about a bunch of other shit. Now we can print out perfect images with fucking lazers that we downloaded from satellites in goddamn space, and nobody calls that art. But trace that shit onto a canvas and make it fucking look worse with shitty paint and bing bang bong you're in the biglys.
