“You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.”

I am an artist, not a capitalist entrepreneur.
I realize now this was what I was meant to do.
Whether it takes loans and debt and hardship, emotional stability, fights and fear…
This is what I am going for.
I may not be rich in the end,
I may indeed be very poor, capitalistically.
Though,
I will have enriched my being in the one true thing I love more than anything.
I will have engaged myself and improved myself thoroughly.
I will be happy, and that is a better consolation than wishing.
boyfriend/girlfriend conversation
- Justin: you should get a ps3.
- Anna: yanno, if I had the money, I would... but then again, i'd probably end up spending that money on clothes.
- Justin: oh, yeah. or some amazing boots.
- Anna: well, the best ones ARE always like $400!
- Justin: that's how much my ps3 was!!
- Anna: see, so if I wanted to play ps3, i'll just play with you, on yours. and if you ever decide to cross-dress, you can borrow my fabulous boots, k?!
- Justin: what a deal!
fuck fuck
I JUST HAD AN AMAZING IDEA AND I CAN’T EVEN PUT IT IN MY SKETCHBOOK.
I’M SUPPOSED TO BE DOING HOMEWORK. NOT ALLOWED TO BE SKETCHING.
>_<
sketching is artist’s homework, 24/7… do it anyways!

I undressed you with my eyes I have
Maybe even raped you
In a dark and eerie corner of my mind
I tucked you there
And touched you in a dream last night
Pushed you aside when you entered
My thoughts at the wrong time
I have sat up upon your lap and
Saddled my thighs around your hips like ropes
I rode you on a chair and in the shower
And all the while I clung heavy to your back
My desire deeply harnessed in your spine
While I squeezed you like a tree trunk
You may have been one
Sexless and comfort in your mind
Even barer than a child’s
I’m riding recklessly through a thick and humid
Jungle growing anxious with the deep and primal
Yearning that stirs
Deeply pulsing up toward the surface
Like sap rising or honey or tar
old feelings
“I want to lay with my head on your chest, and I want to smell you as I fall asleep so you’re stuck in my head while I dream. and then I want to wake up the next morning in your arms.. So I can kiss you good morning and keep you comfy while you wake up”
“she is still a woman. someone larger is still a woman. the in-betweens are still women. photograph yourself naked if you’d like to show the world what they’re not seeing.”

- Justin: I'm a butthead sometimes, thanks for putting up with me.
- Anna: Well if you're a butthead, i'm willing to be your beavis.

The Strawberry
Frostbitten dust on cold, solid ground
A girl caressed a strawberry, juice dribbling down
Puddles of red stained her mitted fingertips
Eyes in a trance so infatuated
A girl caressed a strawberry, juice dribbling down
The bright shining red turned a smile from a frown
Eyes in a trance so infatuated
Carefully caressing, the berry never slid
The bright shining red turned a smile from a frown
Bringing juice to her lips, tasting tang in her mouth
Carefully caressing, the berry never slid
Flakes of frost formed on the tips of her eyelids
Bringing juice to her lips, tasting tang in her mouth
She held treasure in her hands, she loved what she had found
Flakes of frost formed on the tips of her eyelids
Transfixed on a strawberry so red and vivid.
Great art does not depend on tools, technology, costly equipment, techniques, zone systems, rules-of-thirds, chemicals, digital chips, net worked cameras or any of these fabulous ways to divert attention from the real thing.
Art does not depend on $30,000 digital backs or $15,000 lenses.
Great art is the reflection of a laborious, deep and personal vision as realized by and flawlessly executed by a motivated, creative and original artist.
Art is about art.
It’s a state of mind.
It is a vision.
It is mysterious and magical.
It engages and spellbinds.
It’s about inner life.
It is about honesty and self discovery.
It informs and challenges.
It exposes, proves and documents.
It can be vulgar, ugly, hateful, absurd, beautiful and poetic.
That’s art.
Let’s explore art.
