Sound Suit, 2011, doodle by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

Sometimes there\u2019s something I\u2019d like to write about, but I don\u2019t have good visuals to accompany it.\u00a0 And sometimes I have images I\u2019d like to share, but can\u2019t think of much to say about them.\u00a0 I\u2019ve always considered the combination of words and pictures to be the essence of Drawing Life<\/em> as a blog.\u00a0 Here I\u2019m going to talk about some ideas that are close to the heart of my artist\u2019s philosophy, my intuitive sense of the moment we humans find ourselves in.\u00a0 I\u2019ll intersperse these ideas with some of my recent doodles<\/a>.\u00a0 There\u2019s no direct correspondence between the pictures and the words, except of course that doodling is what I often do while listening to someone drone on and on, and if I\u2019m going to drone on in text, I may as well break up the words with some of my wiggly, loopy lines.<\/p>\n

Multitask, 2011, doodle by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

In 1999-2000, the American Museum of Natural History in New York hosted a temporary exhibit called \u201cBody Art:\u00a0 Marks of Identity<\/a>\u201d.\u00a0 It was a survey of tattooing, piercing, scarification, body painting and other kinds of body modification across many cultures and through history.\u00a0 My friend Matty Jankowski<\/a>, a tattoo artist and a collector and scholar of materials and artifacts related to the history of body arts, was one of the consultants to the curators of the exhibit.\u00a0 Thanks to Matty, a few of my own body painting images were included in a portion of the show devoted to contemporary body art.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Herald Angel, 2011, doodle by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

Matty also worked with the education department of the museum to present some special programs.\u00a0 One day there was a kind of open house for the public to learn about body art from artists.\u00a0 There was a henna artist, a tattooist, a piercer, and I was there as a body painter.\u00a0 There was a slide show, and all of the artists gave brief presentations on their particular crafts.\u00a0 People attending the workshop were given the opportunity to try out an electric tattoo needle on a honeydew melon.\u00a0 The henna artist and I had our materials on hand to give temporary body art to anyone who wanted it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Bug & Oak, 2011, doodle by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

There were a lot of parents with young kids at the event, and many of them formed an orderly queue at my body painting table.\u00a0 Most of my previous experience of body painting was with adults, in my own studio or in art galleries or performance settings, but that day I had a long line of little kids, with their parents, waiting their turn.\u00a0 As I was painting, I heard the parents talking to their kids:\u00a0 \u201cWhat do you want?\u00a0 Just think about what you want and tell the man what you want?\u00a0 You can get whatever you want.\u00a0 Do you want a butterfly?\u00a0 Do you want a dragon?\u00a0 Decide what you want and the man will paint it for you.\u201d\u00a0 Kids were presenting their tiny arms and asking me to paint Furbys or Pokemon characters I\u2019d never seen before.\u00a0 A small minority, maybe one in ten, would show some curiosity, would ask questions about my paints or my experiences painting people, or would say, \u201cJust paint whatever comes to you,\u201d or \u201cGo wild.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Cornucopia, 2011, doodle by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

Listening to the endless litany of \u201cWhat do you want?\u201d, I realized that indoctrination into the consumer mindset wasn\u2019t just accomplished through TV commercials and mass marketing campaigns bankrolled by multinational megacorporations.\u00a0 Parents were actively programming their kids to the idea that everything was about consumer choice and acquisition, about defining desires and having those desires satisfied.\u00a0 Even such an odd experience as having a strange artist paint on your arm or hand or cheek was reduced to choosing a brand and displaying it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Sole & Canopy, 2011, doodle by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

Recall that the name of the exhibit was \u201cBody Art:\u00a0 Marks of Identity.\u201d\u00a0 The thesis of the curators was that body art was used to mark its wearer as a member of a tribe, to indicate a special cultural role such as warrior or bride.\u00a0 These children, under the relentless prodding of their parents, were engaging in the modern form of this practice, something the commercial world calls \u201cbranding\u201d.\u00a0 (Of course the term derives from the practice of searing a mark of ownership into the hide of a livestock animal.)\u00a0 We are encouraged to define ourselves by our choice of symbols, corporate logos, or popular culture.\u00a0 It is no longer so much about our role in society, but about our status as consumers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Cretan Goddess, 2011, doodle by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

The curious minority in my body painting queue hadn\u2019t been steered to see every opportunity as a consumer choice or a branding of their identity.\u00a0 They saw this as a chance to experience something fresh, to learn something new.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Coral, 2011, doodle by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

The consumer mindset says \u201cThe one who dies with the most toys wins.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s a zero-sum game, a world of winners and losers.\u00a0 The curious mindset says \u201cWe live in a world of inexhaustible wonders.\u00a0 What will I experience today?\u201d\u00a0 It is a world of free play, a world of abundance for all.\u00a0 It is not a zero-sum game because it\u2019s oriented towards experience, not ownership.\u00a0 One who collects experiences does not deny them to others.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Bicycle, 2011, doodle by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

We humans are now in the early stages of a great crisis.\u00a0 The industrial revolution of the past three centuries has allowed the human population to increase tenfold (it has more than doubled just in my lifetime), and has provided to the common person comforts and luxuries once reserved for kings, even luxuries unimagined by kings.\u00a0 All of this was made possible by fossil fuels \u2013 hundreds of millions of years worth of stored energy expended in an explosive orgy \u2013 and by an economic system in which constant increase is the only definition of wealth.\u00a0 For a few centuries it worked, because there were always new natural resources to be discovered, always undeveloped places to develop and unexploited markets to expand into.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Beatrice, 2011, doodle by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

Alas, we are now coming to that inevitable point where the exponential growth curve must become a bell curve, leveling off and sloping back down, if we are to survive.\u00a0 The earth itself is beginning to assert its limits, to push back against unchecked growth.\u00a0 Climate change and resource depletion are becoming costly problems that cannot be solved by ever more spending and extraction and ever more complicated technology.\u00a0 Our economic system, based on lending at interest, needs constant growth, but facing the slowing of real expansion, it is now just blowing bubbles.\u00a0 The owners of great wealth are trying to hold onto what they have by no longer sharing their bounty with the masses, but this strategy may ultimately fail too, as wealth defined as growth evaporates when growth stops.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Pipe Organ, 2011, doodle by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

Everyone is in denial now, imagining that there is something that will make the material economy grow again.\u00a0 But we don\u2019t need more growth.\u00a0 Human population increase needs to slow down.\u00a0 Expansion in the per capita consumption of energy and natural resources needs to slow down and even begin to contract.\u00a0 From the standpoint of the capitalist economy, the slowdown of growth is a dire crisis and even a disaster.\u00a0 From the standpoint of planetary health, the slowdown of growth is an essential correction.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Eye Pop & Face Slap, 2011, doodle by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

A child’s body grows by leaps and bounds, but when maturity is reached, physical growth slows and stops.\u00a0 Getting bigger is for childhood, but in adulthood it gives\u00a0way to spiritual and mental development.\u00a0 Wisdom, skill and knowledge, the immaterial aspects of the living being, can expand for a lifetime.\u00a0 Unchecked growth of the organs and tissues in an adult is cancer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Merkin Raygun, 2011, doodle by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

There is now widespread agreement that we need to find \u201csustainable\u201d technologies and ways of life.\u00a0 Many still seem reluctant to see that a sustainable economy must be a steady-state economy, not one based on constant growth, at least not as regards population and conversion of raw materials into stuff and stuff into trash.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Insect, 2011, doodle by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

The consumer\/industrial economy says profits must get ever bigger.\u00a0 Every generation must have more material wealth than the one before.\u00a0 Our stores have become superstores, our houses mansions, our cars trucks, and our bodies obese.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Spaghetti Structure, 2011, doodle by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

Marketing propaganda is so pervasive in our culture that we internalize it.\u00a0 We base our sense of identity on our consumer choices, and raise our children to be good consumers above all.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Winehouse, 2011, doodle by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

Our highest value is choice.\u00a0 We associate choice with democracy and the modern way of life.\u00a0 We have so many choices now we may feel paralyzed by indecision.\u00a0 Constantly making choices gives us a limited kind of freedom, but it is constrained by the options that are offered to us:\u00a0 Democrat or Republican, Wal-Mart or Target, paper or plastic. \u00a0 The more we are focused on these choices the more we can be prevented from imagining what other possibilities are not being put before us.\u00a0 The more we define ourselves by choices the more we box ourselves into categories the marketers can exploit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Nutcracker, 2011, doodle by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

The curious mind is always wide open, finding interest and beauty in whatever it encounters.\u00a0 It is always engaged with the unknown, asking questions, speculating, wondering.\u00a0 The curious mind moves through the world on an exploratory path, following beauty and seeking knowledge.\u00a0 The curious mind tries to maximize flexibility and avoid being boxed in.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Fruit Tree, 2011, doodle by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

Our civilization faces a difficult period as natural limits awaken us from our dream of opulent consumption.\u00a0 There will be a period of denial, recrimination, rage.\u00a0 Those of us who have devoted our lives to curiosity and creativity already know there are pleasures deeper and more satisfying than those offered by consumerism.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Secret Language, 2011, doodle by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

Even as we are forced to cut back, to use less energy and less materials, even as extravagant materialism slips out of the grasp of most people, opportunities for learning and experience will remain abundant.\u00a0 Creative minds that can ask penetrating questions and imagine fresh solutions will be needed by all.\u00a0 Curiosity and creativity will see us through stormy times.<\/p>\n

Stealth, 2011, doodle by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

The doodles that illustrate this post were all made in the last few months.\u00a0 All are made with Tombow brush markers on letter-sized printer paper.<\/p>\n
