Thanks Adrian, makes me very happy to know you liked it! I fell in love with those original illustrations, it took several months just to scan and cut every element in the Atlas, 1700 in total. Currently, I´m using this material animating collages for an upcoming AV collection i´ve been making for the last few years, and yes, it is not only landscape.
Very interesting Journal again!! From my experince ambiguity is really a central element to the vitality of an artwork. Ambiguity is really playing with the will of solving oriented minds to nail things down to something controlabel but instead when you swing the hammer there is no nail anymore. It gives the artwork the chance to create a live on its own, istead of being dominated and controlled by ideological concepts! So really nice piece by marginalia, it totally catches the moment and creates a glipse of artistic overcoming of the totally polarized political world we live in! I only can say art is the future!! Thanks again pocobelli!!!
Poco! Hope you have a great trip to Bangkok and around the world ✈☁ thanks for featuring "election anxiety" on the cover of your last journal! I'm usually nervous to share works about current politics, but your thoughtful response really encourages me to keep doing so. Web3 may have its blind spots, but it is certainly a more ideological diverse space than the web2 echo chambers we grew accustomed to and I think there is a limit to the agitprop sloganeering that works well on instagram, tumblr, or IRL protest spaces. Artists aren't necessarily "preaching to the choir," so it means a lot that these drawings resonate with people across the political spectrum. I also loved that you brought up Warhol and that wonderful dollar sign piece. I got to go to the Warhol museum in Pittsburgh last month and it was great to see his lesser known masterpieces and be reminded of his genius. I didn't see the dollar sign IRL, but I did see a giant room full of giant hammer-and-sickle screen-prints. Warhol really understood the economy of images in contemporary capitalism and how those images can escape the pull of ideology. At the museum, I learned that during the 1972 elections, Warhol made a poster of President Nixon's face with the text "Vote McGovern" underneath it. Apparently Nixon tried to enlist Warhol a few years earlier, only to be ignored; so the poster didn't go over well and Warhol was audited by the IRS every year until his death. Funny to see that even Warhol took one for the team. Anyways, safe travels!

That is very bad art. Thoughtless and irritating in it's apathy.... Or he prob does have some good thoughts. But I have no Idea what this is....
