Artwork by Richard Olmsted
I just met this really fantastic artist from Bellingham, Washington. Okay, so I met him on myspace, but that still counts, right?. Here is where I stick in some line about using the oppressor’s tools to justify the fact that I’m sitting here at a computer pretending to meet and like people whom I’ve never seen face to face. This is all ironic when you actually see the sketches of Richard Olmsted. It seems to me anyway, that the way in which the comforts of a technological society hamper our ability to connect with others in a meaningful way is one of the central themes of his work. On his webpage, click “art” on the left column. It was impossible trying to choose which one to place here, so check them all out.
This one is called “Remembering Tomorrow.”
