from Songs for the Struggling Artist · host Songs for the StrugglingArtist
The slide of a Hogarth etching in the Power Point presentation made me think about how incredibly tedious it must have been to do all that cross-hatching in the background. I imagine that it would have been fun to draw all those laughing faces but then – to do all those straight lines behind them? Tedium. Absolute monotony.This made me think about the point where I gave up on working through Lynda Barry’s Making Comics book.To keep reading The Tedium Scale visit the Songs for the Struggling Artist blog.This is Episode 452Song: Everything Is BoringImage of The Laughing Audience by William Hogarth is from the 1730s To support this podcast:Give it 5 stars in Apple Podcasts.
