Artist Statements are lame-ass... You just BS some sentimental shit about "ohhhh my influences" and "ohhhhhh i went through a hard time so I painted this"
... Okay, maybe I'm just mad because my art never has any point, so it's hard, and annoying as hell for me to come up with one, so I end up BSing about creative expression and my imagination. :rolleyes:
Before I can graduate, I'll have to do a gallery show on campus, and it'll have to have an artist's statement.
"Kirby is cute - EMBRACE HIM"
I dunno how many people I can scare with that one...
For some, a statement is BS. To others, there's a good amount of thought behind what it is they do. To others, they can be all overly analytical about their work after doing it and pyscho-analyze the reasons for making something, but before making it and during, didn't have an 'intent' in their head.
That is the greatest paintings ever!! hahah i would love to but that I'm OK one!! hahah :D
Is it all art-ed up?? i mean like will they last? or did you just stick some paint on a peice of cardboard?
cause really I'm ok would rawk in my house!
Its paint on canvas. I don't know how to "art it up" so it lasts.
I'm not an artist, I'm a drunk. :)
Nice stuff. I like "Perfect Citizen" the best.
That, sir, is sig-worthyQuote:

By any chance, would you say that your artwork is inspired in any way by the work of Ralph Steadman?Quote:

"i'm ok." is very touching, especially with the story behind it.
"filth" is one I can relate to, I think anyone who has ever lived in a major metropolitan area can. Is the city in question Baltimore?
"lies" is my favorite, by far. The smearing on the flag makes a statement and looks really cool. This is also not the kind of thing I expected from a guy whose avatars were so pro-American for weeks.
"use your fucking turn signal" should be on billboards all along I-5.
Overall, I like them. I'd really like if you could express your feelings through visuals only--no words. The words are vital in some, but needless in others. There is so much that can be done with Ronald Reagan through pictures; even something as simple as a pair of horns jutting from his forehead gets the point across.
I'd like to see more, 88.
