The Failed Painter

"The Failed Painter" delves into personal reflections on the challenges of material anxiety within the realm of graphic design. It explores a fascination with both singular and multiple production processes, the quest for perfection amidst imperfectibility in an era dominated by virtual surfaces, and a yearning for authenticity. Penned from the perspective of the 'Failed Painter' persona, this collection of essays navigates through discussions on design and art, touching upon themes of culture, race, national identity, and even acts of vandalism. Authored by the same individual behind 'The Impossibility of Silence: Writing for Designers, Artists & Photographers', this book offers a highly curated yet diverse array of accessible writings on aesthetics, covering topics such as space exploration, mercenary activities, adolescence, fleeting nostalgia, precarious employment, and of course, the ever-popular zombies.
