Go ahead, figure this out

“… it ceases to have any interest.”  I’m paraphrasing a quote that I read today, mostly because it touched a nerve.  For me, this is somewhat true.

I think it’s an issue of mental stimulation.  If you’re stimulated enough by a work to be fascinated, you relish in the various tales that it tells. I’m noticing that I tend to follow artists who aren’t easy to decipher as a result.

For example, David Epstein (NSFW), who I’ve followed for quite a while now.  Sometimes it’s quirky humor, sometimes his work has surprising depth. Unless you’re looking at his candid street shots, there’s almost always something hidden for fun.

Sorry, you won’t see the best of his work unless you’re on Flickr and labeled as a “Friend.”  But it’s great, trust me.
