Hello World!
My work is focused on the two opposing big-picture economic games that our elected officials, business leaders, and we, THE PEOPLE, can choose to play going forward.
One of these games was designed to try to quench the unquenchable thirst of a tiny percentage of our interdependent team. So ... fuck that fucking game.
The good news is that there is a far better economic game to play, and this is the game that I am trying to fuel with this art and this tiny corner of the interweb.
Hello, new friends. My name is Greg Hertzke.
I am starting this new corner of the interweb by publishing some of my art, but I will always be the least essential person in the VorV Media story.
The sketches in the digital book that I am publishing on this website are a perfect example. I am a horrible drawing style artist (but working on this craft for future art!), so all the sketches in this book are based on the curation and editing of the clipart that amazing humans have contributed to the open-source clipart community. And they have given permission to artists like myself to do whatever the fuck I want with their art!
Amazing!
So, a huge thank you to everybody in that community!
All art builds on what the artist learned from other artists. This is also how life works. The "self-made" myth is the biggest myth I want to see die.
We puny humans rely on one another. Always have, always will.
I have big dreams for this tiny corner of the interweb. I hope to bring many artists, journalists, scientists, political leaders, and teachers to these pages. But it has to start somewhere.
So, this new media adventure starts with the publishing of my art.
Here are the first storytelling experiments from VorV Media ...
This is a post about the origin story and definition of the stupid-looking name in my company's header. Also, this is the mission of this new little corner of our interweb.
Whose Economic Game Do We, THE PEOPLE, Want to Play?
Depending on what happens on election day 2024, this story will be a "how fascism took over and destroyed the world's best economic game" story or a "how the American Robber Barons' propaganda worked way too fucking well in 2024, but not quite good enough" story.
Although this book isn't finished, the introduction contains most of my thesis about the state of American business and politics. It also includes a preview of all of the sketches in the book.
Of course, there has to be a newsletter.
If you like my art, it is because of the essential work of many writers, journalists, scientists, and artists. So, please subscribe to VorV Media for a daily(ish) curation of what my favorite professors wrote about or talked about that day.
Launch date? Wednesday, November 6th, 2024!
So ... what happens the day before launch will determine the tone of my voice in these emails. 😡 or 😀.
BONUS! I think this is a bonus. I hope this is a bonus! In some of these emails, you will get many more of my comics based on the news of the day! :)
Of course, there has to be a podcast.
Coming soon!
The conversations will be with those who are maintaining, building, and scaling the flourishing side of my handy economic scale.
Thanks for spending two of your most precious resources on my art: your time and attention. Cheers, my friend!
Greg
Also, I've been inactive so far, but I plan on trying the social network thing for the first time in a long time. So please say hi and connect with me on the non-Elon, non-Zuck social network. You know, truth social!
LOL, just kidding, Bluesky!
