People-Pleasing and the Art of the Sentence-graph: The Definitive Sam Pink Interview (part two)

yeah i agree with that. there’s just something off about everybody i like, to be honest. especially when it comes to art. like, if you’re hiring someone to build you some cabinets, the last thing you want to hear is ‘there’s something wrong with them.’ but fuck, if you’re drawing me a picture or writing me a story, i hope you are fucked up. if ten people look at the same picture and only one sees something different, i’m interested in that. and to tie this in to the previous question, i’m starting to think that what might be ‘off’ about me is multiple concussions. all i know is, growing up, people always commented on how dark / weird / funny my take on shit was. so i went with it. and it’s fun. be a fucking weirdo man. you’re going to die. be ‘a little off’, like someone’s grandma.
