so, i got tagged. ten things about my art:

1. my art has changed a lot. A LOT. i used to work ONLY in graphite. now i barely ever use it...i actually never wanted to paint.
2. i often think i'm an awful, awful painter, and wonder what the hell i'm doing being an artist.
3. i've done some art just to sell prints. this makes me feel awful and like a total sell out.
4. i worry that i produce meaningless art sometimes, and lose sight of my own direction in my haste to get bills paid, try to rectify it, and feel so overwhelmed by the task of creating a deeply meaningful and moving picture that i get confused and often wind up making overly deep-seeming stuff that is actually just as meaningless.
i empty the recycle bin on my computer often.
5. i hate it when people look to me for insight or artful thoughts. i'm just a person that draws pictures. that does not make anything i might have to say inherently any more worthwhile than anything else. ever.
6. i also hate being asked where my ideas come from. where do ANY ideas come from? my imagination? i don't have a stock room full of them or anything. i don't buy them on ebay.
7. i don't follow proper rules of technique or anything while arting. it's chaotic, goes against all rules, and i don't care. perspective lines and tedious anatomy construction is the pitts. i don't do it. i just go with what feels/looks right to me. so shoot me.
8. i hate artistic wank. i just do.
9. i'm not a huge fairy fan. most of it kinda pisses me off.
10. i don't know who i am or where i am going in this ocean of chaos.

i tag...whoever. go for it, my pretties!

I loved reading this. After reading so many tags on journals lately this one was the most insightful...I don't share your fairy disgust though lol. I would be out of a job if I did :D
