Interviews With Bloggers, Part 6: Cojo of "Artsucks.com"
The Bella Rossa Interview With Cojo of "Artsucks.com."
Cojo is a self-described "art juggernaut" who, at only 28, has amassed an impressive portfolio of street pop art that makes use of his widely imitated line art style and is hugely popular in the world of hip-hop as well as mainstream magazines by the dozens. He is also a fine artist, cartoonist, portraitist, and writer whose blog details the ins and outs of his fascinating life in the art world. His sketch365 is an online daily fine art experiment which makes most people's blogs look like a total waste of bandwidth.Bella: How would you describe your blog? 
Cojo: Artsucks.com tracks the f*cked-up visual life and mind of Cojo, Art Juggernaut (Maxim, Rolling Stone, Vibe), a 28-year-old artistic zeitgeist trudging the streets of Manhattan (Philly, Vegas, Brooklyn, etc...), gnawing on the big rotten apple for all it's worth, and getting drunk on the cider. . .Celebrity encounters, industry parties, the ins and outs of the art world, paparazzi, models, and deranged homeless people bathing in their own urine. No topic is safe, and the unusual is commonplace...Grab your sketchbook, skirt the velvet rope and take a walk with the beautiful people!
Bella: Why do you blog?
Cojo: Because I don't have a physical journal, or a book deal, and I like to get my thoughts and experiences down before they slip away into the ether or are clouded by memory taking creative liberties. I also like to keep my fans, friends, and clients up on what new stuff I'm doing.
Bella: What was your original goal or intention when you started, and has that changed with time?
Cojo: I had probably planned to do it more as a magazine in the beginning, but now it's become more about my career and observations. I didn't think I'd be interesting enough, but now I'm only able to blog about about a tenth of the whacked out f*cked up sh*t that happens in my life.
Bella: Is your blog a means to an end (finding work, developing creative ideas, making money, meeting people), or does it exist for its own sake?
Cojo: My blog is an extension of my career. I'm able to write about the art projects I'm working on, as well as the inspiration behind them, the parties and opportunities afforded to me by my art career, and how my mind works when I am left to my own devices and am handed a keyboard over a pencil. My sketch experiment (www.Sketch365.com) is also in blog form, more of a visual blog in that it's updated daily (I'm a little behind schedule). It's fun to watch the experiment progress, and for art lovers to be able to buy my work as it is created and uploaded in real time.
Bella: What are some of your favorite, "must-read" blogs? What keeps you going back again and again? Have you ever totally lost interest in a blog that you once really enjoyed, and if so, why?
Cojo: I will go on little blog reading jags where I will check back every day for a few weeks and then not look at blogs again for six months. I like some of the celebrity gossip blogs A Socialite's Life, cityrag, and all the others. They have the pull no punches celebrity paparazzi shots and commentary that the gossip rags won't publish for fear of being sued. I read a lot of comedians' blogs, some of my artist friends have blogs that I enjoy. I check most of the art blogs on the regular to see who they are spotlighting and if they are writing about me.
Bella: What kind of person is the likeliest reader of your blog? What would you hope they get out of reading you?
Cojo: Maxim Magazine fans, art fans, people who like reading about city life after dark. People who like gossip, and art experiments. People who enjoy New York and Philly based blogs.
Bella: Are there people in your life who don't "get the whole blog thing?" How do you explain it to them without feeling as nerdy and defensive as I usually do?Cojo: Hah, yeah. My girlfriend can't understand why I spend so much time writing when I could be drawing. I consider blogging as part of my job though. It's filling out the picture of myself as an Art Juggernaut. The words behind the images.
Bella: What's your relationship with your readers? How much interaction do you encourage? How much do you self-censor, knowing that your friends and family might be reading?
Cojo: I love getting mail from my fans. I try to answer most of the e-mails I get when I have time. I love finding out celebrities, or other artists I admire have read my blog. I try not to write anything too personal, or things said to me in confidence in my blog.
Bella: Have you ever heard yourself say something like "If you really cared about me/were really interested in me, you'd look at my blog"? Is this a fair thing to throw at, say, your sister, during an argument over who gets the nicest drumstick at Thanksgiving?
Cojo: No, I'd prefer it if my family didn't look at my blog so I would have things to talk about at Thanksgiving. My family members all know exactly what I've been doing year round so I have to actually think about the things I haven't written about to talk about at family gatherings. They usually start conversations based on things they have read on my blog.
I've noticed when I've told people a story I will word things a certain way and maybe in the third time telling it to different people I will realize what lines I may have said that are funnier (funnier comedic delivery) and I will be sure to write the lines that way in my update. Once I have written it down, I can release these lines from my memory, so when I get behind in my blogging I have an uneasy feeling of having to keep exact phrases in my mind, almost like if I were an actor remembering a script, or if I had just crammed for a final and have facts memorized in order. I want to just get them down in type so I can release the memory.Bella: Do you video blog? Would or will you? Are there any video blogs that you look at? What would you video blog about, if you did?
Cojo: I have some Sony handycam video footage I have shot that one day when I free up some memory on my computer and some time I would like to digitize.
Bella: Have you ever blogged something that later you regretted and/or deleted from your blog? What lesson did you draw from that experience?Cojo: Yeah, I think I blogged about someone's birthday party and the girl who's party it was was starting to get stalked by some internet pervert who was linking to all the pics of her from her party on my blog, so I disabled the posting.
Bella: What are your thoughts on the phenomenon of "doocing," wherein someone loses their job because of things they posted on a relatively anonymous, discreetly written personal blog? Are you careful to maintain a clear line between your online self and your real world self? Are you conscious of creating an online persona? How is that persona different from the real world you?
Cojo: I am my own boss so this "doocing" thing doesn't come into play. But I am always conscious of the persona I am presenting to the world. My name and my persona is all part of the product that is Cojo®. All public personalities in the entertainment world are logos unto themselves, and I am no different in that sense. Andy Warhol is a product, Damien Hirst is a product, Batman is a product, Ashlee Simpson is a product. If you screw up how the public perceives the product, it could taint the work. I'm lucky that in my writing I basically pull no punches and am really critical and witty. People are used to that, and my dark f_cked up sense of humor, so they don't really get offended. They come back for it and enjoy it. If they get offended, they just don't read the blog, simple as that. I'm an artist first, writing isn't my primary source of income, I blog for my love of journaling and chronicling my life. I would love to be able to read a detailed chronicle of how my favorite artist's career's progressed. I'm offering that to the generations of artists and creative thinkers to come.
Bella: What is the history of your relationship
with computers and the internet? How long have you been online, and
what kinds of things have you done online (e-mail, chat rooms, message
boards, real-time multi-player games, aimless surfing, etc.)? How has
this changed your life, for the better or worse?
Bella: How long do you think you will continue to blog? What are the circumstances under which you can imagine yourself quitting?Cojo: I will probably always continue to post updates. Months may go by when I get really busy. I might end up hiring assistants to crop photos, program the HTML, scan printed pages, and physically upload and update the site and RSS feed with myself just taking pictures and writing the updates in word or something. The programming part of it is what kills me. I'm not a programmer and the site isn't an automatic blog like most of the blogs out there. I have to do all the updating stuff manually and it's time consuming.
Bella: What's the coolest thing that's come out of your blogging experience?

Interviews With Bloggers, Part 5: Spirit Fingers of "Give Me Spirit Fingers, Dammit!"
The Bella Rossa Interview With Spirit Fingers of "Give Me Spirit Fingers, Dammit!"
Spirit Fingers is a Hong Kong blogger who has been an e-friend of mine since the late '90's, when we both enjoyed the Camelot of pop culture message boards, the Fametracker Forums. (FT still exists, but the forums do not. In case you're a fellow former FT'er, I posted as "Lula Carson," and yes, I started that thread you found hilarious and loved so much.)
Her profile explains that she has "an aversion to puffy wedding dresses, monogram handbags &
Laura Ashley, golddiggers, people who dress inappropriately for their
age and Asians who dye their hair blonde," which means she would probably be very disappointed to know that I wore a pink Laura Ashley dress to my eighth grade formal. (It had a horrendous giant bow on the front, and it made me the envy of my fellow suburban prep girls for several weeks.)
Her blog is quite popular, as evidenced by the fact that she is linked to by 253 other bloggers. Despite the fashion focus of her blog, I can assure you it is also full of general pop culture comment of the brilliantly funny variety.
Bella: How would you describe your blog?
Spirit Fingers:
It revolves around bad fashion in all its forms as well as the
ridiculous, exorbitant lifestyles of people and their absurdly-dressed
little dogs.
Bella: Why do you blog?
Spirit Fingers: It's
mainly an outlet of expression which may not necessarily be available
in my daily work and life. There aren't too many people in my immediate
social circle who I can also discuss topics like fashion and pop
culture with. There aren't too many people in my immediate social
circle even...
Bella: What was your original goal or intention when you started, and has that changed with time?
Spirit Fingers:
The blog mainly started as a commentary about fashion-related topics
and news I found interesting. However as things progressed and
readership increased, the scope of the blog has expanded to include
lifestyle and shopping trends and on occasion celebrities who really
provide quite delightful fodder.
Bella: Is your blog a
means to an end (finding work, developing creative ideas, making money,
meeting people), or does it exist for its own sake?
Spirit Fingers:
It's mainly for developing creative ideas without having to worry too
much about commercial considerations. On occasion I get approached with
business opportunities but none that would be able to allow me to quit
my day job and blog fulltime. It's also important to be wary about
businesses that try and take advantage of the willingness of the
blogging community to share information. For example, when I first
started blogging a very well-known advertising company asked me to help
them write a report for their client about street fashion trends in
Asia and to provide pictures for it as well. There was no mention of
compensation - they just assumed I would do it for free while they
charged their client lots of money for their "market research".
Bella: What kind of person is the likeliest reader of your blog? What would you hope they get out of reading you?
Spirit Fingers: Someone
who may not necessarily be interested in fashion but has a fair amount
of knowledge about pop culture. It is hard to pinpoint a type of reader
as they come from all over the world and from different backgrounds and
age groups. I hope that they get mildly entertained by whatever they
read and find it interesting enough to pass it along to their friends.
Bella:
Are there people in your life who don't "get the whole blog thing?" How
do you explain it to them without feeling as nerdy and defensive as I
usually do?
Spirit Fingers: The vast majority of my
friends and acquaintances don't read blogs or even know what blogs are.
I don't mind so much because people have different tastes and hobbies.
Especially out here in Hong Kong when people might not understand why
you're doing something that won't end up making money in order for you
to buy the latest! fugly! designer! handbag!
Bella: What's
your relationship with your readers? How much interaction do you
encourage? How much do you self-censor, knowing that your friends and
family might be reading?
Spirit Fingers: I get quite a
bit of reader mail whether it's about fashion, or questions about
shopping in Hong Kong or general reader feedback. I try to answer all
of them but I'm not very efficient in that regard, e.g., I might not reply
immediately if someone has emailed just asking me to promote their
site. In terms of self-censorship, I don't really write about my
personal life because frankly my day to day activities are really not
that exciting and I doubt anyone would be interested in reading about
how often I sit in my bathtub sloughing dead skin cells from the soles
of my feet.
Bella: What are your thoughts on the
phenomenon of "doocing," wherein someone loses their job because of
things they posted on a relatively anonymous, discreetly written
personal blog? Are you careful to maintain a clear line between your
online self and your real world self? Are you conscious of creating an
online persona? How is that persona different from the real world you?
Spirit Fingers:
I don't think someone should be sacked if they blogged outside of work
on non-work related topics, and if they didn't mention who specifically
their employer was on their blog. These sackings aren't going to deter
people from blogging either because online venting is such a popular
activity nowadays. I blog under "Spirit Fingers" instead of my real
name but my online persona is quite similar to (but only slightly
bustier than) my real world self. The way my blog is set up, I don't
think readers would be too focused on my personality and identity
because it's about things that happen outside of my life.
Bella: How long do you think you will continue to blog? What are the circumstances under which you can imagine yourself quitting?
Spirit Fingers:
I hope to continue blogging in the foreseeable future but if I suddenly
had no free time available (due to job, quintuplets etc.) I would
probably have to give up my blog. I imagine this would cause the
faintest of ripples to resonate throughout the blogosphere.
Bella: What's the coolest thing that's come out of your blogging experience?
Spirit Fingers:
Coming into contact with people from different parts of the world, some
of whom are published writers and from the fashion industry. However
nobody has seen fit to send me Chanel quilted leather handbags in
appreciation of my hard work, which is somewhat disappointing.

TV Land's Sit Down Comedy with David Steinberg
Who needs cable, anyway? You can see many full episodes and highlight clips from what might be described as the comedy version of "Inside the Actor's Studio" (minus the syncophantic fawning of that Lipton dude). It's called "Sit Down Comedy With David Steinberg," and it's pretty cool. Who is David Steinberg? He's a graduate of the Second City program (hey, hey!) and a comic, writer, and director who's worked on Seinfeld, Mad About You, and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
You can also download podcasts and listen to them on your iPod while you run fruitlessly on a treadmill or tune out strangers on public transportation.

My love for Amy Sedaris is well-documented. Now comes the release of the "Strangers with Candy" movie, which is a prequel to the series.

A few days ago Amy was the guest on NPR's Fresh Air - go have a listen. Also recently, my new pal at the Apiary covered the NYC opening of the movie (my new pal? Oh...perhaps I've said too much).
Oh, and did you know that when investors started pulling out of the "Strangers with Candy" movie, fellow Hoosier David Letterman stepped in with some of that nice Late Night/Worldwide Pants money? This doesn't surprise me a bit, because every time she pops up on his show, he clearly enjoys her unique charm. Check out these clips of Amy with Dave in 2001, 2005, and 2006.

Interviews With Bloggers, Part 4: Ismateo of "Function of Unguent"
The Bella Rossa Interview With Ismateo of Function of Unguent
Ismateo of Function of Unguent is a meat enthusiast and recently blogged about the World Cup. Some of his favorite new blogs include laura the tooth, basketbawful, sophisto, gentrified rice, and you can't get arrested for being awesome.
Bella: How would you describe your blog?
ismateo: Sorta chewy.
Bella: Why do you blog?
ismateo: Sometimes I want to share some weird or funny sh*t
I've seen on the internets, or sometimes I have something I want to
tell people my opinion about for whatever reason, or sometimes I have
some words I want to write that are poems or fictions or whatevers.
It's just a place for my scattermind to spread its spewage.
Bella: What was your original goal or intention when you started, and has that changed with time?
ismateo: Not really. I've always done it just because I
liked it. Sometimes I took it more seriously than others, other times
it was more frivolous and just for farts. As more people that iIve
never met in real life started visiting, it became more intense - a
combo of ego and, like, fear. Wanting to, y'know, make sense, make it
look nice and neat. But it's always been my thing, and just because.
Bella: Is your blog a means to an end (finding work, developing
creative ideas, making money, meeting people), or does it exist for its
own sake?
ismateo: Nope. I mean, yes. I mean, uh, I guess so?
Bella: What are some of your favorite, "must-read" blogs? What keeps
you going back again and again? Have you ever totally lost interest in
a blog that you once really enjoyed, and if so, why?
ismateo: I go through phases. i'm so scattered -- I'll
forget about a blog for a long time, then go back to it and find it and
love it and forget it all over again. The ones I read the most are the
usuals -- metafilts, growabrain, boingboing. But I love my blogroll,
and I'm always trying to add to it, to spread it and increase the rad
randomosity of it.
Bella: What kind of person is the likeliest reader of your blog? What would you hope they get out of reading you?
ismateo: The likeliest reader is probably young in America
and working. Or it's my mom. I don't know -- i guess i'd hope to get
a smirk or two, a smile, a laugh, someone to get a little insight into
something they didn't think about before or know about.
Bella: Are there people in your life who don't "get the whole blog
thing?" How do you explain it to them without feeling as nerdy and
defensive as I usually do?
ismateo: Some friends forget that it's something I do, they
know about it but don't go there. They just check MSNBC and ESPN and
that's their internet. And I don't explain sh*t to people - maybe
that's my defensive reaction. I just put stuff in a post and hope it
gets noticed. Or don't care at all, just do it because I'm bored on
some Tuesday.
Bella: What's your relationship with your readers? How much interaction
do you encourage? How much do you self-censor, knowing that your
friends and family might be reading?
ismateo: I'd like more comments. Like, no duh. Just
knowing that x amount of people are coming and looking and not having
anything to say about it is... well, it's not annoying really. I just
wonder if what i'm blogging about is of any interest. Huh, I guess if
it was, then i'd have more comments. Sh*t. And I usually don't
self-censor. Sometimes I feel like I'm cussing a lot in my blog, but I
like the force of it. I'm not saying sh*t unless I mean it.
Bella: Have you ever heard yourself say something like "If you really
cared about me/were really interested in me, you'd look at my blog"? Is
this a fair thing to throw at, say, your sister, during an argument
over who gets the nicest drumstick at Thanksgiving?
ismateo: No.
Bella: Do you video blog? Would or will you? Are there any video blogs
that you look at? What would you video blog about, if you did?
ismateo: Probably not. I still have issues with my digital camera.
Bella: Have you ever blogged something that later you regretted and/or
deleted from your blog? What lesson did you draw from that experience?
ismateo: Nope. I guess I'm never super personal - I'll
put up my writing, but I'm never, like, gossiping or anything. so it's
hard to regret posting that funny picture of the dog dressed up as a
cowboy.
Bella: What are your thoughts on the phenomenon of "doocing," wherein
someone loses their job because of things they posted on a relatively
anonymous, discreetly written personal blog? Are you careful to
maintain a clear line between your online self and your real world
self? Are you conscious of creating an online persona? How is that
persona different from the real world you?
ismateo: If I ever lost my job for blogging, then f*ck
it. The job, I mean. It's just my stupid place to say my stupid piece.
Freedom and all that. I hate the corporate machine, anyway -- but
especially if it comes to that. But I have kept a fair amount of space
between what I share 
about my personal life, and what I talk about on
my blog. Clearly, i am always the same person -- I think of it as just
facets. Like, in real life, you might not know I have a blog after
hanging out for a bit. And after a quick read on my blog, you might
get to know me a little bit, but not the whole deal.
Bella: What is the history of your relationship with computers and the
internet? How long have you been online, and what kinds of things have
you done online (e-mail, chat rooms, message boards, real-time
multi-player games, aimless surfing, etc.)? How has this changed your
life, for the better or worse?
ismateo: Since my Amiga, since Prodigy. But who knows how
this has changed my life - it's all made me who I am. But I do miss
King's Quest.
Bella: How long do you think you will continue to blog? What are the
circumstances under which you can imagine yourself quitting?
ismateo: 'Till I lose interest. My energy for it comes and
goes - it's been waning of late. But I'm also planning a big world
tour, so my focus has just been elsewhere. I can't get all interested
in random midget breakdancers anymore.
Bella: What's the coolest thing that's come out of your blogging experience?
ismateo: Meeting cool people like you - even if we haven't
"really" met. (Editor's note: aww!) It's still friendly and fun, and that's a good thing.
The Coreys Attempt a Comeback
Is anyone else hearing that clangclangclang noise of a rapidly approaching train? The kind that's about to run off the tracks? I'm not saying these two can't resurrect their careers. I just think it's nice that Corey #1 isn't trying to sell his teeth on eBay anymore. Oh, wait, was it Corey #2? Well, whatever.
"The Coreys" picks up with Feldman living the comfortable suburban life
with his wife Suzie and son, until circumstances bring his old pal Haim
back into the picture. Episodes would follow Haim -- single and the
total opposite of Feldman -- as he shakes life up for the Feldmans.
