The other day Cindy was asking me what I was doing to the car, to the Prius, and I said I was debadging it, waxing and polishing it, and also in the past historically I’ve touched up the paint a lot, spray painted certain components and parts of it, fixed rust, etc.

Cindy asked me what the point of it all was? I joked and said that I am an artist, that is what I do, I play with spray paint etc. It is almost like saying, to a painter, what are you doing spending all day putting paint on canvas? The car is a canvas, and paint is your art substance?

I think the difficult thing about art is that there is a bias that it needs to have some sort of economic payoff. A.k.a., you gotta make money from it. But what if this isn’t your concern? What if you are in a life and a world beyond money?
