Somewhere on the path, I made a turn. I think it was about the time I moved to Tokyo in 1999: I joined the Beautiful Losers, that loose-knit team of creative and sort of needlessly over-educated ones who could have had, if they were a bit more of the team-player and a bit less idealistic, an uninterrupted career and a clear role in society. I think I was heading in that direction, might be too late to retrace my steps now though. And that's fine, I wouldn't have it any other way. After all, the Beautiful Losers are much prettier and have a better sense of humor. And the view of the outsider, the thing that allows art to happen, that ability to catch the edge of two perspectives right there where they rub up against each other, well, the Beautiful Losers have that in spades.
