i was going to try to break 250 posts on my blog this year, but realized, that was too goddamn ambitious, and not realistic.
plus, i needed a break, my brain can only handle so much shit and abuse. i've been busting my ass since march of this year on the road, and it ain't easy! sure, some people think being an artist is a piece of cake, sitting in your lonely tower, creating new stuff for the world. but it ain't like that at all. there's about 30,000 km worth of hustle each year that goes into being a "professional" artist and that's a lot of cross country trips and airports and layovers and skybars and workshops and exhibitions and meet and greets and art juries and satanic presentations and festivals and conferences and interviews and whatever over and over again until you really puke your guts out. at least 150 times a year. no shit. really. it's just that simple.
AND THEN, you have to be ON every single fucking time. because god forbid, that if you are not ON that one time, people will totally shit talk you, blacklist you, blackmail you and treat like you are an intestinal parasite. because they are not out there on the road slogging it out like you and don't know what it's like crisscrossing the country like you do to pay the bills on top of everything else you do like being a mentor, a community leader, a father and so on.
anyway, i digress, and what i meant to say, is i've got some more new art for you, and new music coming soon, so enjoy! dig in! feast your eyes!
until next time lovers, sinners, and winners,
cb.
