Ernie Barnes, Artist



I didn't know about this guy before, but he just passed away. Some nice statements about art in this short video.

That's awesome.

I can't agree more that the drive to self-improvement is just that, a drive, a fundamental human experience, whether actualised or not.

In fact, not actualising it can be quite damaging to the individual, and in one sense begins to lay the bases for societal ills.
