This is dishonest, but what’s sinister is the cumulative effect that such dishonesty has on us: since it offers a perfect facsimile or simulacrum of goodwill without goodwill’s real spirit, it messes with our heads and eventually starts upping our defenses even in cases of genuine smiles and real art and true goodwill. It makes us feel confused and lonely and impotent and angry and scared. It causes despair.”<br/><br/> - <em>David Foster Wallace</em>http://utopiantrace.tumblr.com/post/50817512960http://utopiantrace.tumblr.com/post/50817512960Sun, 19 May 2013 23:26:42 +1000“I bring to my life a certain amount of mess.”<br/><br/> - <em>Francis Ford Coppola </em>http://utopiantrace.tumblr.com/post/50719482723http://utopiantrace.tumblr.com/post/50719482723Sat, 18 May 2013 20:31:27 +1000<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/809db36c4b86c7f336effeb67d09d690/tumblr_mic778NRqa1r9h3lro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://utopiantrace.tumblr.com/post/50710759389http://utopiantrace.tumblr.com/post/50710759389Sat, 18 May 2013 16:04:17 +1000<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/20194992fa38f772d20a2500e912e776/tumblr_mm8nqcoejS1qg5p8bo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/56280742994cbb74e81efa6ebd346a86/tumblr_mm8nqcoejS1qg5p8bo2_r1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/319b72e14208f22e0995182ac6339cc2/tumblr_mm8nqcoejS1qg5p8bo3_r1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://jamesreads.tumblr.com/post/49531827244" target="_blank">jamesreads</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>NEW PRINTS:</strong> <em>The Visitors </em><span>is an 18” x 24” high quality giclee print on watercolor paper.
