The Idea Log

The Idea Log is a single-evening art show that follows themes of stability and turbulence.

​

The name of the show, The Idea Log, is derived from a log of comic ideas that I started keeping in May 2020. At one point in the year, I was having so many ideas that I was drawing at least one (but as many as five) comics a day. Every comic was a way of coping or processing an instance of stability or turbulence. I still use this log daily to record new ideas for future art pieces.

​

The Idea Log explores the role that work and productivity play in the personal search for peace and truth. As you view the pieces in the exhibit, I encourage you to think these questions to yourself: Am I working too much? Am I working enough? Should I monetize my hobbies? Is it right for me to create art based on other people? Is it wrong to deny myself the relief of expressing my emotions?

​

And how important is it to save money?

And how much of my value comes from my ability to remain productive?

And am I settling into a life that is not truthful in exchange for stability?

​

The Idea Log is an open-entry gallery. It will be hosted at PublicUs (in the annex area) on December 9th at 4-7pm.
