Biography
I'm a twenty year old art student, concentrating (currently) in Photography. I'm fairly certain that there isn't a thing on Earth that isn't beautiful in it's own way. -
Artist's Statement
I've been observant. I've taken mental notes.
And I have concluded that in order to be a truly GOOD artist, I mean a GOOD talented, acclaimed, revered, envied, prolific artist-- you MUST have at least one or more of the following:* unnaturally colored hair
* butt-ugly haircut
* more than two piercings (ears do not apply) preferably one that goes right through the middle of your nose, though any facial piercings will do.
* a tattoo.... or two..... or five.
* a black and white horizontally striped shirt
* male-- wear clothes tight. The tighter your clothes are the more "artist" you are.
* female-- wear pleated denim skirts (they should be frayed or torn)... with violently colored tights-- and striped socks on top of those. It's so aesthetically awesome to be a day-glo nightmare.
* pair of Converses. [They MUST be old and falling apart-- and you should probably have some sort of artistic media caked on them (clay, plaster, paint, etc.)]
* any pair of very flat soled shoes.
* angsty buttons and patches all over bags-- or at least ones with obsolete demands, like "STOP CONTINENTAL DRIFT!"
* if nothing else, carry a drawing pencil behind ear or in hair and when someone asks for a pencil look at them with a "back the eff off" stare.CLEARLY-- I am commenting on the extreme distaste I have for the stereotype that we "unique sorts" filter ourselves into. A girl in I met in the library learned that I was an art student and said to me, "You don't look like one."
Well crap, I guess I need to work on that.
Ps. I'm only guilty of the converses and the drawing pencil.
