good morning, blog. did you have a good night? the dargerism exhibit was awesome, i was so glad i went. i mean, i really preferred looking at the actual darger works to the work that was influenced by him, but it was cool to see how influential a guy can be posthumously after a very solitary life. and it was crazy to hear about all the books he wrote. thousands and thousands of pages, these grand epics about battles to free all of these enslaved children. on a side note, i would looove to hear what psychologists say about his work, because there is so much about childhood and girls underlying it. and girls with penises. but also, it really makes you think about the purpose of art. it's crazy to think about this guy writing these thousands and thousands of pages, and he's really just writing it for himself. he just wanted to write a story, to create something, and didn't care whether anyone ever saw it. its the kind of thing that makes you want to start making beautiful things in all your spare time. oh well, maybe next week.
