LOOKEY HERE: While the below paragraphs are what the piece was based upon and inspired by, certain aspects of my personal views have changed. If you're interested in those, refer to the edit below. Also this was from two years ago, I had terrible typing manners.

i was reading a book on hitler, and (dont ask me why how, i dont feel like explaining it) i came to the conclusion that cities are bad.

it was talking about how he took credit for figuring out that when you group a bunch of people together, they end up losing their sense of self and relate more to the whole of the croud. we're also studying urbanization and the growth of society in anthropolpgy, so of cource i'm already pissed at humanity.

my thoughts? when you group alot of people in one place under one name, you loose the individual voice alltogether and get an overall feeling of dull insanity. this works in crowds, cities, rallys, assemblies, and is the sole puropse of a pep rally: to get people to feel the same about something.

humans keep building bigger, keep adding more, and in that act we loose a bit of who we are. i'm not saying that large ammounts of anything is evil, i'm just saying that enough is enough.

give me your thoughts on this...i know mine are a jumbled mess, just because it would take me a million years to explain all of my reasonong.

acrylics and ink on cardboard, about 30 minutes.

6/30 EDIT:

*TO ANYONE WHO FAV'S COMMENTS, VIEWS, READS, WHATEVER: THANKS SO MUCH! I may not have the time to thank all of you, but goddamnit I'm gonna try.*

Wow a DD! To think this little flap from a shoebox from over two years ago... THANKS GUYS! (most of all ^limnides - THANK YOU I AM SO FLATTERED)

Also, OH DEAR LORD THE GRAMMAR DON'T LOOK AT IT. The above rant is also out of date. I guess I'll explain in the comments.

To sum it up: I actually like productive cities. I plan on moving to Chicago and I think the history and architecture surrounding cities themselvs is wonderful. I take the painting as figurative, but you may see it differently.
Overall,less is more people, less is more.
Think: Ayn Rand, George Orwell, Aldous Huxley
