rriveraart Do you have any merch anywhere? I really love your stuff and would like to support
I make books, and no more than I think I can sell. My goal is to get that bag while not cluttering the earth.
amanofletters Do you have any other platforms you use, like Twitter or Discord?
I’m on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ronaldwimberly/
… it’s different though. This was like making an endless mixtape. Sad to see it go.
Goodbye Tumblr
d-pi:
I think I’m just gonna post ALL of what I have queued up and leave tumblr. It was a good run. Sad to see it go.
In His LAAB Experiment, Ronald Wimberly Plays with Dynamite
Françoise Mouly: You wrote a manifesto for the first issue. What got you into thinking about aesthetics?
Ronald Wimberly: I got into it in a roundabout way, coalescing on a lot of references to Bertolt Brecht. Even before college, I’d go see a Quentin Tarantino film; Tarantino talks about Godard, so I’d check out Godard, who is talking about Brecht. So would David Bowie, who recorded songs written for Brecht’s play “Baal.” And it goes on and on until eventually I just find myself always going back to this guy. And for me, who’s so often called upon to participate in projects as theblack artist, there’s always the pressing question: Is it possible for art to have a social impact? That’s probably what really started me digging into art history. Quickly, I got to Walter Benjamin, “Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction,” and I was right back at Brecht again.
