Quote of the day

There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences.

'FUCK' now listed on Etsy.

My painting, FUCK, which was completed on a night of frustration last summer, is now available for sale on Etsy.

Title: FUCK

Year: 2009

Dimensions: 8 in. X 10 in.

Media: Acrylic on canvas

The word 'FUCK' written over and over to completely cover the canvas. Tubes of paint were used to write directly onto the surface. No paintbrushes or any other implements were used.

I paint because

I paint...because I'm sad. Or, I paint because...I'm enraged. I paint because I'm frustrated, or because I ache, or because I'm excited, or scared, or insecure, or happy, or confused, or doubled over with grief. I paint because I feel, and I feel so intensely that it fucking overwhelms me.









(And by paint, I mean creating art in general. I just happened to be painting at the time I wrote this.)

Open call art submission

At the last possible second, I have just rushed to submit something to the 3rd Ward Open Call for their 2010 winter solo show (the deadline was March 1st, 2010 at 11:59 pm).

My submission was a single photo of my painting Conditional. I would have submitted more pictures of other pieces, but each submission costs $15, and that's all I could afford at the moment -- planning ahead fail, hahaha.

Anyway, wish me luck!
