The following blog entry is a guest post from Fox Thoughts. The author is solely responsible for its content. Or, the grass is always greener. I recently had the chance to sit down with an artist and chat about our respective disciplines. The very first thing he said surprised the fuck out of me. […]

At different times, for different reasons. There’s a sliding scale between one and the other, see. The goal of these […]
