Not even kidding

Tokyo-based artist, Tomoo Gokita is serious about his nonsense.



In an interview with ANP Quarterly magazine, Gokita, who never attended formal art schooling, said he does what art teachers don't want you to do.

"It's indeed a subtle area of whether it's skilled, or completely lacking in it," Gokita said. "I've been strongly urging to be really bad at it, but it's not so easy to completely get rid of the skills you are already bound with."

Gokita also draws portraits, including this one of Mr. T (right).

"Based on Freud's theory that each individual is made up of 3 essential components which are locked in constant battle to control our behaviour.

The Id being our innate behaviour, the Superego, our learned manners and morals and Ego, the mediator between them."
