I want to destroy the idea that art is something that is made by a specialized class of people.

I can't draw for shit, never really learned to paint, can't make music, can't do so many things.

But there's lots of things I can do. I write, sometimes. I've learned how to make simple jewelry. Right now, I'm making silicone copies of penises. And dammit, all that counts.

There's so, so many things out there that qualify as art, and I know there's some that you can participate in the creation of.

Also, if you haven't seen The Iron Giant, I can't recommend it enough. It's a sweet, charming film about paranoia and xenophobia in 1950s America.

@starkatt featuring Vin Diesel in one of his more expressive roles!

@starkatt cooking, baking, brewing. And if we ever meet up I’ll hand over a drum and let you pound on it.
