“ digital art degrade far more rapidly than traditional visual art does, and the demands of upkeep are much higher”
“ Every time I assume a talented person isn’t painfully aware of the flaws in their work, I am wrong.”
“ The arts have this tremendous optimism and belief. I mean, you have to be an optimist to be an artist. But then, of course, artists are some of the most cynical people you can imagine. So there is this great irony in cynical people being involved in areas of great belief. And it’s something I love. I love the irony, and I enjoy it, and as I said, I never thought that artists were so much looking for answers as they were just posing questions. I can’t think of a more hopeful act than to be an artist. To decide to be an artist is a very hopeful act.”

“ Their breadth of knowledge of American garbage culture is astounding. They know all our bad TV shows, all our bad music. They basically are well-versed in two cultures of garbage, so they’re not just super literate and super funny. They’re super knowledgeable in a completely different culture, which I always find impressive. There’s something slightly Shakespearean in their ability to phrase a dick joke, unlike Americans. They really make it sound better. They make it sound intelligent.”
“ Not familiar with Reddit? Just click that link and prepare to walk away from your computer tomorrow at 3 a.m. If you think Facebook is a timesuck, Reddit is an eternal abyss. It’s the best and worst of the internet mixed into a single site and served in bite-sized chunks that gain or lose popularity by users’ votes. It’s democratic ADHD.”
“ Do you think your grandparents had dreams? They worked jobs that suck so much now robots have been invented to do it because those jobs caused cancer. They didn’t moan. They just did it. You lack work ethic, and you’ve watched far too many indie coming of age flicks where the protagonist got that job interview.”
“”Both of us learned Photoshop on pirated software, yet in the end, we both became wildly profitable customers for Adobe. Ironically, Photoshop itself also eventually became a client of mine, as I lead my old firm’s work with Adobe on Photoshop Express.
But I wonder how the next suburban 15 year old nerd will learn Photoshop. I guess they’ll become GIMP Jockeys. Sad.

Paying the piper, i’m struggling with the concept of rented software.
