Michael Salter - Styrobot, 2008 - 22 feet of styrofoam packing material

Ohmygod. We get so much of this packing styrofoam at work when new computers and computer parts come in that this is legit what I sometimes feel like doing.

If only it weren’t frowned upon to build giant styrofoam robots in office cubicles.

Michael Salter, please continue being awesome.

An innovative initiative is taking place in the Philippines to bring sustainable lighting to homes in impoverished communities. Empty plastic bottles are installed in the roof, filled with water and bleach they refract sunlight. These “solar light bulbs” provide light equivalent to a 55watt light bulb.

See how they’re made here. From Visual News

Damn that’s awesome.

that is awesome.

A fantastic idea!

Here Is Gilbert Gottfried Reading Aloud from Fifty Shades of Grey

Did you experience a sexual awakening while watching the scene in Disney’s Aladdinwhen Iago the parrot keeps shoving crackers into the tied-up Sultan’s mouth? Then, boy, do I have the audiobook for you.

I need this!

Oh my god my librarian and I talked about this earlier today.

Just a little reminder in case you non-vegans forget that what you’re eating is a chicken’s menstruation cycle. So glad I’m not guzzling down anyone’s period anymore.

OMG YOU MEAN EGGS DON’T COME FROM MAGIC?!! THANK YOU SUPERVEGAN! 

just had eggs god they were delish

man i love eggs

im sorry i just find pretentious vegans to be really hilarious

mmm delicious chicken periods

ok

its a fucking egg cell

do you know what else has the same purpose as egg cells?

seeds

do you know what holds seeds?

fruit.

enjoy eating your plant uterus, OP

sorry i couldn’t hear you over my delicious sizzling chicken periods

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS! THIS TOTALLY HAPPENED TO ME THIS MORNING!

I WAS MAKING EGGS FOR BREAKFAST, JUST MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS, AND THEN BAM! SUDDENLY IT BECAME A BABY CHICKEN!

Instead of eggs and bacon I grabbed some Orange Soda and had dinner for breakfast.

It was delicious.

YOU GUYS DO KNOW THAT THE YOLK IS THE SHIT BABY CHICKENS FEED ON? AND A LOT OF BIRD BREEDERS FEED CHICKEN PERIODS TO THEIR BREEDING BIRDS BECAUSE THE BIRDS LOVE IT AND IT’S FUCKING FOOD FOR THEM AND THEIR CHICKS. THEY EVEN FEED IT TO CHICKENS.

SHIT GUYS WE BETTER TELL THEM BIRD BREEDERS THAT BIRDS COME FROM EGGS.

It must be completely wrong, right? Especially considering that birds like magpies, crows, and even jays are notorious nest robbers and eat the eggs of other birds. What’s so special about chicken eggs, huh? Why can’t we eat chicken eggs? You bein’ bird-racist, vegans? Huh? HUH?

I thought we got past this bigotry.

I’m using my friend juliedillon’s work as an example for this; I hope she doesn’t mind.

I wanted to make a post about perspective and comparing yourself to other artists.

This is my art. It’s very realistic, but it’s also not very imaginative. I draw what I see. Sometimes I add a bit, and I can draw imaginative things if I want to, but the stuff in my gallery is what I’m good at. It’s what I’m awesome at, in fact, and I’m really lucky that I’ve figured that out.

I can’t draw like Julie draws. I wish I could, and Julie probably thinks I’m nuts. But I wouldn’t know where to begin. Having a vision like that and bringing it to life—it’s not something I’m good at in visual art. Julie’s work (and the work of artists like her) intimidates me, humbles me, and makes me feel like I need to do better. It makes me look at my stuff and think, “Man, I just don’t cut it” as much as it makes me think, “I should try harder.” It makes me glad to be me, and it makes me hate myself all at once.

If I wanted to draw like Julie, I probably could. I have a lot of foundation skills. But it would take me years. I’d have to learn to trust myself in a way I’m not used to. I’d have to overcome a lot. It would take a lot of work, and there’s no guarantee I’d ever get that good.

I think those feelings are pretty normal? I think most artists probably feel like I do. We see work that we admire, and we can’t help but feel like our own work doesn’t measure up. Another person’s art is better simply because it’s not our own.

On the other hand, I look at my best work, and I’m comforted that it’s good. Of course it’s good—it’s my best. It’s good because it’s my best and no one else’s best.  In the end, there’s only me and my body of work, so I only have to be as good as my best.

The hard part is remembering that I don’t have to be as good as someone else’s best. :B

words to live by :)
