“I submit that “creativity” is just as broad, and broadly necessary, to human functioning as the collection of impulses, conditions and skills we’ve labeled love.”

“Getting people to care and want to learn about things that they don’t see as directly impacting their lives can be difficult. I believe that wrapping points and ideas up in pretty or exciting packages is just as valid a tactic as demonstrating in a public place with a sea of people. It’s also just as valid as highly intellectual debates about the small, intricate details of an issue using specialized vocabularies full of obscure words.”
— Art Is Just as Powerful as Protest
“Instead, the artist’s personality becomes the sellable good. Attention acquired in new media can be leveraged to sell more inherently scarce goods and services, like teaching, lectures, concerts, and books. Aesthletes’ work becomes inseparable from the theatre of their own excessive labor.”

DEEP MAP PILOTS Pay-What-You-Will .PSD download!
This is a zip file containing all five Deep Map Pilots in unflattened PSD (Photoshop) format. All layers I used during the creation of the images are included. These may not be usable by older versions of Photoshop (I use CS5).
These files are useful for those who want to pick apart my methods, anyone interested in printing something at home, and people who enjoy collecting really bloated files in order to bore and obfuscate federal investigators.
Pay what you want for these, including nothing. Sometimes you can’t spare even a dollar, but don’t let that stop you downloading and enjoying them.
I’d appreciate it if you didn’t sell my art for your own personal gain, I guess, but it’s not like Deep Map Pilots is such a hot property that you stand to get rich from bootleg t-shirts or whatever. I retain copyright, whatever that means, but it’s not like I need to say it for it to be true.
Actually I would wear the shit out of some Deep Map Pilot t-shirts; if you make some illegal pirate bootleg deep map pilot t-shirts, send me an extra-small pls ty.

Affirmative, Dave. I read you.
And so excited that Nick will have a show at OHWOW gallery here in Los Angeles, opening February 22, 2013.
