One of the guys who makes me believe that every man should have at least one tattoo on his arm.


Brandon Boyd. Incubus frontman who I was just recently discovered is also a painter, an artist.

It was yesterday when I read one of his interviews and it was so evoking I'm not sure in a good way or bad. I keep saying that I need fascination in order to keep being alive and I depend on inspirations to keep my days from being dull. But some people or some things inspired up to the level where they make me doubt some principles I was holding at the moment, doubt myself. And this man is one of them.

I'm not sure I can explain how it happened and what's been happening in my brain ever since. I'm still trying to figure it out. I wonder if I should straighten my crooked lines or just leave it as it is because being crooked might not be that bad at all.

What bothers me is not partial quotes but the whole text, but some lines that I highlighted:
"But the whole point in art, to me, is to not know exactly what you are doing until you are already doing it."
"Creative work is energetic work. When we are low on energy, and trying to be expressive, it's like bringing a spork to a gun fight."
"Some experts would argue that 'playing dead' is the best defense against the bear, but I say f/ck that sh/t. That's boring."
