Art Is The Thing Nobody Asked You To Do

In a series of humorous, wry, and deceptively wise reflections, artist, musician, and comic book writer Babak Ganjei presents a radical new take on the artists’ manifesto. Examining motivation, inspiration, and influence, these deft pieces of prose flesh out the internal life of a working artist in this day and age. Through his existential acrobatics, Ganjei attempts to make sense of why he does the things he does, but also tries to convince himself that it is fine if it all works out.
