Keeping It Real.


Speaking of the logo that artists designed for his new album, Nick Cave makes an interesting observation.

“The wires are telling you: somebody built this thing. It's the same reason we tend to use the first or second take of a song rather than the third or fourth. They may not be perfect, but they capture some sort of essence.”

Would your customers recognise your product/service as being made by someone, but not "perfected" to the point of sanitisation?

this is the reason i love being an artist and not in another kind of business! there's a deliciously fine line that people love you to 'show your workings', but still produce something that they could not, in fact, produce themselves.
and i think this is what's art's place is in the world: skating the divide between accessible and inaccessible.
