Building a Dream

Description

I am going to see Jolie Holland play live tomorrow. I really like the way she sings and how her songs are written. She's got a great way of phrasing, and seems to have a great wanderlust in a lot of her songs.

I do a lot of music-related art. I think my work is more directly tied with music than it is with other visual art. The reason is that while drawing, you can feed directly off music. It has a direct relationship with the rhythm of your line and the motion of your hand. I like all kinds of music depending on my mood and also what I am drawing.

This song, "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime", was written by E.Y. "Yip" Harburg, and became a sort of anthem for the Great Depression. It's a heart breaker. But then again, I kinda like to have my heart broken. Then again, I think I mighta been born with a broken heart. My, how emo.

I have seen all the works which have been done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and striving after wind. (Ecclesiastes 1:14)

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.  For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)
