Penny Arcade, ummm… Moved me today

Saw this over at penny arcade this morning. Thought it was an incredibly astute observation. We are all creators, and honestly, it’s always been that way. And we control our culture, we just need to be more aware of it.

The answer is always more art; the corollary to that is the answer is never less art. If you start to think that less art is the answer, start over. That’s not the side you want to be on. The problem isn’t that people create or enjoy offensive work. The problem is that so many people believe that culture is something other people create, the sole domain of some anonymized other, so they never put their hat in the ring. That even with a computer in your pocket connected to an instantaneous global network, no-one can hear you. When you believe that, really believe it, the devil dances in hell.

Figure this is as a good a way as any to get back into posting. You’ll see more from me in the next couple weeks now that school is out. I might even have a zine or three do and ready for consumption!
