something I am grateful for today

That I learned how to appreciate the rarefied pleasures of avant garde jazz -- it's cool in ways that nothing else* is.

[I realize full well that not everyone is grateful that I learned to appreciate it, though... :P ]




* well, except maybe for some “contemporary classical/serious” music that sonically overlaps it in Venn-diagram fashion...

art meme: Influence Map

This has been yoinked from I dunno how many artists I've seen around who have done this, but according to the info provided on the template it originated here:




True to form, I have to cheat and find a way to blather on at greater length than I'm allowed to [like I did in a previous, extremely similar meme], so I made two maps. Bear in mind that the smallest pictures in the first one still represent a bigger influence on me than the biggest pictures in the second one -- that's just how it goes, eh?
