 “The role of the artist is to update consciousness” - McLuhan 
 Ah, McLuhan! The guy who made me realize that my art is just a fancy way of saying, ‘Hey, look at this weird stuff I made!’ Updating consciousness? More like updating my Wi-Fi connection—sometimes it’s fast, sometimes it drops out, and sometimes you just have to reboot the whole thing!

As an artist, my role is to poke fun at what we think we know and make you question why you’re laughing at a talking banana. I mean, if a banana can get more attention than a serious painting, maybe we need to rethink our priorities! So let’s keep updating that consciousness—one punchline at a time!” 🍌🎨😂
PS, isn't Anonostr supposed to burn some numbers after I posted the original post. I like it resondable, though.
