I have to laugh, on Paul Shelasky's website there's a link to a blog by Brooks Jensen of LensWork Magazine. Today's entry talks about quality things that inspire him to make art. He mentioned he listened to Brahms, Miles Davis and some movie I hadn't heard of, but it's all high brow stuff. When I thought about what inspires me, that's what made me laugh. Cuz the stuff that insires me sure ain't Brahms or Mozart. For me now it's the Donnas, Captain Beefheart, The Velvet Underground, Howlin' Wolf, Daido Moriyama, certain tattoo artists, the movies Paris Texas, Drugstore Cowboy and I just watched a documentary I have about the Mardi Gras Indians in New Orleans that was real cool.
I guess I'm pretty low brow. Put it this way, the piece of art I have over my bed is a pencil drawing by a homeless guy named Beavo in Austin TX. It's a guy smoking a cigarette with a cap on and electrodes going to it and on the cap it says "Acme Electric Chair."
