Saturday Art: John Roecker’s Video Manifesto on Creativity and Self

I am huge fan John Roecker as a person and as an artist. He embodies the DIY punk rock spirit and has created an impressive body of work. His body is pretty hot too, but that’s another matter.

The other day he sent me a link to this video, and I was touched to see he’d included me in the thank yous. All I did was write about him and later host him on FDL Movie Night, but to John anyone who actually does anything creative–whether it’s about him or or not–deserves a thank you because they are being true to themselves.

That being said, this poignant video is his self-directed artistic retrospective, a love letter to Los Angeles, movies, and punk rock, a celebration of creativity, a paeon to the urge to be a demiurge, a call to manifest.

Now get out the knitting needles and Modge Podge! You’ve got a world to create!
