The recession-proof artist

ac

New York Times recently published a lovely piece on making art in challenging times.

Artist, friend and coworker Alexander Conner is featured in a short, yet wonderful video in this article in which he speaks on living while breathing art. Alex makes drawings, photographs and new media art despite of enduring what many refer to as “this economy” – because he needs to make.

“It’s between buying paint and buying dinner. If you’re not one of those people, you won’t survive.”

This somber glance into our times is filled with sparks of inspiration.

Cheers.
