Thanks everybody!!

I borrowed a bit from an early edition Cosmic Trigger cover:



They're setting up a "digital dome" at the Cosmic Trigger play in Nov, which I guess is like a mini imax screen, and I'm scribbling up some relevant pics for the occasion .

It's a metafictional riddle, wrapped in a crude mystery, inside a surrealist enigma, but perhaps there is a key!

This is the secret history of the Twin Gods of Chaos, Aiwass Hodge & Aiwass Podge, and of their initiation into the Discordian Mythos.

The eternal return is back with a vengeance, and this time it's personal!

Like most artists, I learned fairly early that for the most part, the only person who will act happy when you foist your art at them is  your mother. Making art and assuming others want it because you like it is an exercise in egotism, which makes sense because in my experience most artists have fragile egos and are in constant need of validation. Therefore, when people ignore, reject, or dismiss your art, it is often a crushing blow to the ego. This is especially difficult for children.

The reaction formation defense mechanism that many artists develop in response to this is "Fuck you if you don't like my art, I don't give a fuck". It is fairly transparent.

Most functional and successful artists I know eventually arrive at a point where they make the art to satisfy their need to be creative, but then rather than shoving it at people and demanding appreciation, share it with people and hope for appreciation. We all still want the appreciation, the change is in the expectation.

Very well put, Nigel!

This is exactly the line of thinking I was aiming for
