Inspirations
My biggest inspirations, mostly listed here to make myself seem inordinately cool and well-cultured, include:
- my ever-pestered family and friends
- my jaunts down wikipedia rabbitholes and all kinds of obscura
- musicians like: The Cure, Lil B, Bjork, Dean Blunt, Songs: Ohia, Les Rallizes Denudes, Three Six Mafia, and Elliott Smith
- the many interesting textures i find around my house and neighbourhood
- 1871's The Jabberwocky, William Carlos Williams/Walt Whitman anthologies
- a love of the history of people and their politics
- other literary works such as The Illustrated Man, Yeats' Irish Fairy and Folk Tales, Titus Groan, Memory Sorrow and Thorn, anything Vonnegut, and A Confederacy of Dunces
- the jittering fidget of my uninhibited hand as possessed by an outside whim
- the movies of Greenaway, Maddin, Varda, Bogdanovich, Daneliya, Aleksey German, Wenders, Kusturica, Ryazanov, and Zakharov (im a soviet movie nerd)
- the animated show Chowder
- the creative conditioning of a red-eye flight with only a pen and paper
- Disco Elysium and Minecraft
