Things That Really Inspired The Search

This pieces of art, helped me go through a difficult time and to come out the other side with a new piece of storytelling to call my own.

#3|Hedwig and the Angry Inch

A beautiful woman, man and everything in between. Hedwig was left with an Angry Inch, alone in America, was betrayed by her boytoy and still looked fabolous doing it. Also she sang this song above, a love song inspired by my favorite philosopher and homeboy, Aristophanes. John Cameron Mitchell created a rock opera inspired by his life, not that he was a german transvestite, but he was different in a place and a time where different wasn’t allowed. As she would sing “And this is the sad story how we became lonely two legged creatures. The story of the origin of love”.

#2|Passing Strange

Stew used art to rewrite his life. He got on Broadway. Spike Lee made a movie of it. He won dozens of awards and I hope he solved all his unsolved issues, cause he sure did help me solve some of mine.

#1|The Arrival

Shaun Tan created an illustrated masterpiece with this book. The Arrival is a silent tale of a man in a new land having to come to terms with all the novelty around him and the fact that his family is half the world away. The drawings are breathtaking, the story is breathtaking and by the end it’s all very heartwarming. Here’s one more sample of the fantastic art by Tan:

I highly recommend getting the book and get ready for The Arrival! [rimshot]
