Without growth and experimentation.... art dies. but once you've reached the end of the branch, it doesn't hurt to start back up at the roots and try another branch. I'm glad they're re-booting the franchise, I just hope they've found their direction. As a fan, I know what I like. I also understand the artists need to grow and support it (Sort of reminds me of the conversation I just had with Marc about Mortiis). You can keep doing the same thing over and over again (Like the Misfits or Elvis) and give the people what they want, or constantly evolve (David Bowie or The Beatles). That's the artists choice and a fans opinion doesn't matter. There is no right or wrong in art of any kind, only opinions that don't really matter.

I agree with everyone here, the world is what it is because of people thinking OUTSIDE the box, if not we would all still be living in caves in loincloths and shit. Its also very easy to get trapped and typecasted, how many actors do you know are like that? Its inevitable in art, like Degas and his ballerinas, Picasso and his weird shit, Giger with his monochromatic biomechanics. What is the point I'm making? I'll make art that makes me feel. Whether it be happiness, disgust, pain, etc. An artist is considered a SELLOUT once you give a shit what your audience thinks, and you try to please said audience. Being typecasted is irrelevant. The bottomline is you need to please yourself first, and someone else relates to your work, that's an added bonus.

yup. Art is not a job, but sometimes you get lucky and people pay you to do what you like. Don't chase the money, Let the money follow.

It is nice when the money does fallow ! LOL... But I do believe that the art itself is what matters and that it inspires others in some way.

I'm no good at rollerderby names. I think those girls just get two random "cool" words and throw them together without looking. Like cherrybomb thunderclap, pixie dynamite, rattlesnake sledgehammer or some nonsense like that. Or they'll get a cool first name and use alliteration and rhyme. stinky stacy steamroller, large marge deBarge, downtown julie brown I think thats how it works

Not bad guy's ! Now do a pun on someone famous. We have a few, but I can not list them as we are trying to get them certified for a derby name. It is a pain in the ass . But I got a hot Roller Derby wife, so it's all good ! LOL...
