A few things gleaned from Paddy Johnson’s profile of Internet art star Ryder Ripps for Print magazine:
- The only way to succeed on the interwebs is “honesty.”
- Ripps has “two Tumblr and three Twitter accounts,” which somehow doesn’t seem like nearly enough.
- He feels the emotional pull of Monster Energy advertising (who can deny those claw marks?) and is obsessed with “pubescent male aggression.”
- Being an outsider artist like Henry Darger is “really bleak and not glamorous at all.”
- It’s not about the number of likes, “it’s about the strength in passion.”
- Triple Canopy is cool and all, but watching Harry Potter, “I had different kinds of magic-wand effects coming at my face, and you’re trying to come at me with some primary-color block floating on the screen?”
That last quote was followed by, “Eat it!” but they made me take that out.
