my brew

I'm working on a manifesto. It's being written on a sheet of paper torn out of my third grade exercise notebook. I feel like an onion.

Artists of Note

In our Critical Issues class, we often have "artist heroes" and working artists come in and speak to us, or we discuss their work.
I like that, to learn a little more about contemporary art.

Marie-Angue Guilleminot
Kevin Yates
Burckhardt (forgot his first name)
& any pre-1912 Piet Mondrian (sorry buddy, not a fan of grids)

A lot of my work that I've done so far is not really... my art work. It was more for school, so I don't know if I'm cool with showing it here. But I guess I will. I don't feel particularly that I put a lot of passion into them, just had to rush through them at 2am at night.

Oh, I've also started dabbling in oil paint, so beware, I might put up some tiny canvases soon.

EDIT: Oh yeah, Theo Jansen is mighty spectacular. You will be fucking blown away when you first see his work. Google him. Do it for the sake of all innovation.

oh bother.

School has started, so hopefully the art things will pick up again. I get rather lazy during the summer, I know.
Be hopeful! I went to the art supply store today and got myself more acrylic paint, so maybe an actual canvas piece will show up.

Make the commitment and love it until it hurts.
