Visual Moratorium

I posted a more emotional version on my Facebook, but this is Tumblr*.

I’m a writer. I’m a visual artist. I haven’t produced an original, financially-productive piece of art, ever. I’m 29. I’m considering posing a Visual Moratorium upon myself. Nothing but music and the occasional (appropriate) music video. And even then, only works that inspire works.

Learning from my favs, rather than creating new masterpieces** which casually lean against the experience.

Visual Moratorium is in place until May, when most of the shows I care about are coming back on the air, anyways***.

Who’s with me?
