The Art Optimist Blog Officially Opens.

Chances are if you're reading this, you probably know who I am. If you don't, well, there's a nice little biography on the right hand side of this page.

I am an active member of the local arts and music scene in Southern California, and I want to be able to share the things that I feel need to be shared. A big problem in the local scene is that most musicians are self-absorbed, and don't allow themselves to be fans. At the end of the day, I am still a fan, and these are things that I am a fan of.

It is so much easier to be a critic, and so in its place, my goal for this blog is to be an "art optimist." It takes courage to make art. It should be commended; not discouraged.
