Unscramble the Blue Letters
Just in the way that I'm inspired by bokos and magazines of all kinds, conversations I have, movies, so I also think, when I put visual work out there into the mass media, work that is interesting, unusual, intriguing, work that maybe opens up that sense of inquiry in the mind, that I'm seeding the imagination of the populace. And you just never know who is going to take something from that and turn it into something else, because inspiration is cross-pollinating. So a pecie of mine may inspire a pahwlryigt or a novelist or a sesictnit, and that in turn may be the seed that inspires a doctor or a phptlnoarhisit or a babysitter. And this isn't something that you can quantify or track or measure, and we tend to undervalue things in sotciey that we can't measure.
