Art doesn’t happen just ‘because.’ It happens because we *will* it to happen. We must *decide* to #MakeTheThingThatIsNot, and that requires that we need some kind of call to our own brains to get to work and to stop worry about getting the herb garden planted. (p. 75) #Ritual

A piece of dark art paper covered with bicycles. One of the bicycles has been covered over with white ink.
"Look at all those other people going places!
Is there any reason you shouldn't hop on and go, too?

Art paper that looks like an old catalog listing with white lettering: “You have hundreds of excuses not to make that thing you want to make. Do not use them.”

People, if we have survived Cats and Mama Mia! and any number of Michael Bay movies, the impact of any dreck that you create is unlikely to be statistically significant. So make your thing anyway. #Lichtenbergianism #MakeTheThingThatIsNot #Blogquotes

A collage with an 18th-century man holding a carriage above his head. Johann Sebastian Bach is in the carriage, and a slogan says “Steal like a boss.”
The past is there for the taking — disassemble your idols and use the parts to #MakeTheThingThatIsNot. #StealFromTheBest. #Lichtenbergianism #postcardquotes

A kraft paper background has a black rectangle glued on to it. The left side of the rectangle has been torn by hand.

A piece of art paper with polka dots covering the field. Some of the dots have numbers written in them, and some of the numbered dots are connected with lines.
Making the Thing That Is Not is just connecting the dots — only you have to draw them. And also number them. #MakeTheThingThatIsNot #Lichtenbergianism #postcardquotes

Collage: the background is a technical drawing of machinery. Foreground is an anatomical drawing of a male torso with the abdominal muscles cut out. Between the two is a large, colored flower, showing through the man’s abs.
No matter how well-engineered our lives may be, actual growth and blooming and change always happen within us. #MakeTheThingThatIsNot #postcardquotes

A self-portrait by Howard Finster with this message painted on it: “I began painting pictures in Jan 1976 without any training. This is my painting. A person don’t know what he can do unless he tries. Trying things is the answer to your talent.”

The left half is an old encyclopedia article about STARS. On the right is a black background with silver and gold flakes glued onto it, and in the center of that is a piece of graph paper with a simplified geometric drawing that looks like a constellation.
We can try, but we cannot organize the stars. We can only simplify. #MakeTheThingThatIsNot #postcardquotes
