This video is sort of a subtweet about some art twitter discourse. But I wanted to respond in video form rather than in written form so that you wouldn't misinterpret my words.

But here are three ideas that I wanted to share with artists for us to keep in our brains as we go into the new year.

SUPER ART FIGHT HALOWEEN HAVOK
This Saturday, Super Art Fight returns to the Ottobar for our gigantic Halloween spectacular! SAF has sort of become a costumed event full of madness, but since it's Halloween, even I have a costume for the show! It's going to be an awesome time so if you're looking for something to do this weekend, head on out to the Ottobar and join us for some trick and a hell of a lot of treats!
