So that's what goes on in my mind. I just chose to put it on paper. I like to explore this randomness in the world, the thoughts we have which don't make any sense if you're not yourself. I really enjoy reading and watching other people's extreme randomness. Weird ideas explored far enough give something like The Drinky Crow Show:
A lot of people don't seem to cope very well with people turning a corner and not really knowing why they did it. The funny part for me is that it doesn't matter, and that the consequences don't matter either. It's a kind of random comedy act. I really appreciate artists like Don Hertzfeldt which dare to do art for no apparent reason.
I admire the courage it takes for someone to create a piece of art which seems to be random. The truth is, there are no real random projects, there is always something behind it, and sometimes admitting that is hard. Admitting to myself that behind my comic strip, I was hoping to make people laugh. Drinky Crow and Don Hertzfeldt do have comedy in common but they also do have another deeper message. That message is just hard to access because one has to see through what they perceive as random.
Are random pieces of art really worth it? They seem to appeal to a minority, but mainly the rational behind them seems to be hidden under layers of what can be perceived as art without rhyme or reason, random art. The random effect of the art does make the message harder to get for some people, but for others with a twisted mind that is bored of logic, it's not just entertaining but carries a true message.
On the lighter notes, here's the wrestling bananas.
Random might also just be an excuse to pass stick people, bananas, and alcoholic suicidal crows off as art. I don't think you can invade someone's mind with a very strange and obscure message that seems to be absolutely random and have amazing production values. Right?
