Art

Ok now. ... ok... now.

I did not feel these emotions about art before I came to art school and started making things and doing shit and stuff. But now... now I cannot handle the art world.

I guess I shouldn't say I cannot handle it. More so... it is fucking stupid. Let me explain:

I don't know what I consider myself. I wouldn't necessarily say I'm an artist but more so a person who utilizes technology to get my point across. I guess I'm a thinker...? So in the end I'm basically a bum that makes pretty things sometimes.

But there are all these hipsters that are taking pictures of their cats and tall buildings and then putting them on instagram and then printing them out and selling them and they're suddenly an artist? No, you little twats, instagram is to photography as youtube celebrities are to Meryl Streep. IT'S NOT THE SAME!

I mean, everyone thinks they're a photographer because they have a nice camera. I'm not above this. Why would I have tried to learn more about it if I didn't think I was a decent photographer? But yeah, all I had was a nice camera.

But let's move on to other art forms. Painting is cool and I have hardcore respect for people who have real skill at it. But now we've reached the point where you can paint three lines 10,000 times and say that it was inspired by the spirit of abstract expression. Heh, that's cute. I'm glad your lines really express your inner self... abstractly.

Or sculpture. Again, respect for talent. But when somebody gathers 100,000 paper clips and puts them in a pile because it represents the corruption of monogamous relationships and the sexual boundaries they create and also why the government should legalize LSD and giving babies crack. It could possibly speak to the flaws of the education system.

FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU ART!

Can't even handle it.

So in the end. Imma quit art because I obviously am not using instagram right. I'm going to become a hermit and live off the land.

What that means is I'm going to find a cabin in the woods and starve within the week... Derp.

Much love.
