Sometimes “they” just don’t “get it” do they?
I have the same problem with various observers and critics of my memes and graphics sometimes. I work hard to come up with an idea I can convert from words to an image, to be sarcastic or funny or partly true and partly not or subtly jab at a long-held off limits subject, and I get, “Is that how you spell that?” Some people are too right brain or anal and others can see the humor right away. I think it is the “forest for the trees” kind of thing too.
Great job. It’s difficult being so “good” isn’t it? :-)
P.S. Can I ask you a question? Why did you change from the Looking Spoon to CRASHR? Just curious.
I ended The Looking Spoon at the end of last April. I was finding myself just posting other peoples graphics and creating less of my own. The idea well, frankly, ran dry for me because I grew tired of doing stuff with the shelf life of its news cycle. Also, I felt painted in a corner doing all conservative images all the time, and the pace at which I was blogging was something I no longer felt I could maintain.
In short it felt like the whole thing had run its course.
One of my goal with CRASHR is to do more original graphics that tackle subjects that don’t have the shelf life of the outrage du jour. As such, I’ve been trying to stick to topics on a more ideological and cultural level, and at a pace I can handle.
