I'm Back

This is the first Celtic design I've come out with since my coloring book.  Or to look at it another way, its the first knot in my next book full of Celtic Awesomeness and next time I'm gonna try for 50 patterns instead of just 32!

But I'm not in any particular hurry, or trying to be prolific or anything, (yet), because I've got lots of other artistic and literary endeavors to tackle first.  I'll just come out with a new knot every now and then when I feel like it.  :)

Vandalism Is Bad For Art

One thing about being an artist is that the entire rest of the world is just waiting for the opportunity to betray you.  Well, maybe this is just the human condition and they are after you whether you are an artist or not, but then of course, everyone is an artist.  And it gets a whole lot harder if you're into representational art, that could be enjoyable and embodies the classical virtues of truth, beauty and goodness.  Or even just two out of three.

I feel a rant building inside me and I don't have time to expand on it right now but the greatest enemy of art is political motivation.  The latest example of this is liberals vandalising civil war monuments from the civil war.  Now, I don't care what you think about history or current events, but those have got to be at least life size and they're representational and cast in metal... they're destroying art!

Maybe this should seem obvious... but vandalism is bad for art!

Like I say, I've got a rant building inside of me, and I've got liberals, conservatives and companies to chew out, but I don't have time for that right now.  But I just had to bring this up because liberals destroying statues is a teachable moment and its a bad sign, I don't care if you're hypnotized by the news, its a bad sign.

I also don't like getting kicked around forever and I'm getting my own back.  Stay tuned for more art.
