The Internet is one of the most powerful methods of communication. Through it, we've learned to actually convey emotions and feelings through a medium once viewed as cold and mechanical. I believe that it will soon be the most commonly utilized way to advertise and promote oneself. I hope that with this blog (along with several other websites), I'll be able to say and do something noticeable, meaningful, or powerful. I also hope that I can create something we'll both like.
We're all cognizant of the flurry of musicians, actors, and artists that have suddenly risen from sites like Tumblr, Flickr, and YouTube. We all recognize that there is ubiquitous talent around the world that, without the aid of the World Wide Web, would not have been given a second glance. Pretentious or ambitious as it may sound, I want to be one of those people. Not exactly for the fame and fortune (although we'd all be liars if we said we didn't care about those things), but for the ability to produce something frivolous that people can appreciate. Art makes you feel. Or think. Or understand. Art becomes a therapy -- for both the artist and the viewer. And I rely much more on the visceral reaction of the public than their money or praise.
In short, this is my therapy. Enjoy.
