Nostalgic Art

 

   Speaking on behalf of both of us, if you please, I was thinking about the kind of art that we create. (which is not up yet on here [but soon], and probably not organized enough even offline in a way that would indicate to us that we even own such art). So I was thinking, I wouldn’t throw our creations to the modern pool of ‘randomness’ that you would see in many portfolios. Randomness in not a bad thing, I just think our stuff has a distinct feel to it… a nostalgic feel. Like many artists I think anything I create comes from the past; experiences, encounters, flashbacks, whatever. And like every artist, everything is a little piece of me. Nostalgia was once considered a disease, but now we know how to cure it. There are many ways to feel in your element even when you live far away from home. The fun is in discovering ways in which you can stir in yourself those emotions that remind you of that familiar atmosphere, and make you feel like you’re actually there, even if its for a few intense moments. So when I draw (doodle), write, listen to a song…and I get that tightness of heart, and rush of comfort and excitement, and even if when I look around I see snow falling and strangers pacing up and down the street out my window, I know I’ve actually reached home.

Sometimes it’s even more fun than taking a plane back home.

But it could be that I’m just a little sadistic.
