Where Do We Go From Here - internet found image
When I was just a young thing, I would graze through this vast nebulous wilderness we call the internet and I would collect pretty pictures. I also used to have a massive collection of tangible images that I would collect out of magazines, and my teen-aged bedroom was a collage of random imagery itself. Point being, I’ve always been drawn to gathering images, which is why I adore tumblr.
Most people may be aware of the micro-blogging system solely through the humor blogs, such as Look at this Fucking Hipster, or This Is Why You’re Fat (removed), or Hipster Puppies , or Garfield Minus Garfield or blogs devoted to how this person / thing looks like that other thing / person (which all seem to get book deals and be available at Ubarn Outfitters. I digress.) In addition to the humor I find tumblr to be an amazing resource of art images – historical, contemporary, high-end, commercial, conceptual, specific artists, genres, time periods, and so on and so on. With my feed populated by both tumblrs dedicated to art, and those with just an interest as I had in pretty pictures, it refreshes and inspires amid the textual basis of the web.
