I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Kara Miller at Innovation Hub about being an artist in the digital age:
“I get impatient with artists today who still want to pretend like they’re living in the 19th century,” Kleon says. “This isn’t the 19th century and you’re not some French painter. A big part of being an artist is understanding what context you were born into, what the surrounding culture is like, and how you can add to it.”

Next week I’m going to be an artist-in-residence at All Saints’ Episcopal School in Fort Worth, Texas. The teachers asked if I had a video explaining how to make a newspaper blackout poem. I didn’t, so I made one. Enjoy.
