Portfolio Review

From a dream.

(Digital)

This dream, which was about going up in front of a portfolio review board for comics I did not have (because, obvs, I am an illustrator, not a comics artist), reminded me of one of my favorite videos: Ice Cube Celebrates the Eames. In it, Ice Cube discusses his love of architecture and the Eames in particular. I’m not sure why my anxiety dream about comics and identity made me think of this awesome thing Ice Cube made. Something, maybe, about a deep, deep love for an art form for no reason other than it just speaks to you.

If you don’t love Ice Cube already, I have no idea what to tell you about the way you live your life. But, hearing him talk about how rap and modern architecture are alike because they both sample from their respective predecessors… holy shit. It changed the way I think about space, architecture, and music. In one sentence.

I guess that’s what poets do best.

…I’m not really one of those either….

I wonder what I am.
