Sprouting people wearing my merch: Seven Stars edition 🌱🔻
The disguise was in full effect.. this might’ve been the best one yet. Also, I unlocked a new POV cam using the meta glasses 🥸 Before we went out to sprout people, I walked into @LevityMusic ’s trailer asking if they sold plants (industry plant joke) and they didn’t recognize me for like 30 seconds…. I wish I got John’s reaction on the glasses once he realized it was me lol. Stay till the end to see.. sorry John.

In addition when narrative is pulled out underneath artists it forces us to improvise this tests your identity what you believe in and your relationship with ur art.. watch a comedian bomb and you’ll see it first hand what authenticity looks like even in absolute failure
Even when it looks like a joke maybe even especially when it looks like a joke is a longing to be heard I think some of the greatest artists hide their sincere belief in their art behind sarcasm and cynicism esp now but always been this way
Vulnerability isn’t fake it’s that people are trapped in a hall of mirrors.. even performative realness.. the craft becomes even more important when it comes to understanding who you really are not only to others but to yourself even if it’s camouflaged in sarcasm
A great example of post ironic art is knife party internet friends or edm death machine it’s a joke but it fuckin bangs.. you can participate in a culture you are highly cynical of and maintain your artistic integrity I feel this type of art is crucial..now
I’m finally moving out of my parents house at the end of the month, I can’t wait to have my own space and build a legit studio 😭 I feel like I’m gonna be a whole new person now that I get to freely express myself
