I read a post recently that decried making #art for art’s sake in such troubled times.

I heartily disagree.

Making art, no matter the purpose, brings joy and beauty into a world sorely lacking in both. Sure, art can be a form of protest, but let’s not be limiting the Muses when we need them most.

@elfkin pouring one’s heart and soul into something for the sake of it, is quite often the point.

Art can be a silly cat cartoon that put a smile on someone’s face, an abstract painting of a bag of flour that only makes sense to the artists room mate or the very essence of raw, undiluted human emotion distilled and frozen in time as only a chainsaw taken to a bloody canvas can convey.

@carbontwelve @elfkin I really want to draw or paint a bag of flour now. Damnit.
