Sometimes, just sometimes,

I see series paintings like the exhausted words of a lying politician.

Say it often enough and people will think it's true.

How many times do you have to paint the same thing to get people's attention?

I realised that painting on walls is awesome, so please hire me if you're opening up/redesigning your cafe/bar/hostel/hotel/restaurant/brothel/school/parkinglot/etc.

I can't help it, whenever I find a song I like I instantly kill it.
But meanwhile, this is what happens.

I'm half expecting one day I'll drop dead from music OD.

------------------

I scrolled down looking at the past few months' posts,
And I go, what's happening to me?
Why is everything so different? Like my hand and mind is running around like a headless chicken. I used to be concerned about that ''get your own style'' thing but ditched that thought, at least on a conscious level, a long time ago. Should I start getting concerned over it again?
This blog is starting to look like someone just compiled random drawings from the net in one pile.

The problem

2011-04-13T12:34:00.001+03:00

The problem of working on many different paintings at the same time, is that you get sick of all your paintings all at the same time.

It irks me to hear things like ''I do art because it shows that I am different from other people''
Or ''I am different than you, my work is special''

If you want to be special go buy the latest sneakers from H&M.
Don't drag art into your petty look-at-me scheme.

I want a map that shows all the ways I've taken, the smooth silky streets, and rough rocky roads, along with the small alleyways of which I've made my little devily detours.
That map could help a great deal when there's a place I want to revisit, but forgot how to get there.
Directions are not my strong point.

I don't want to give art a bad name.
And those people, they shouldn't either.
Are we pretending that we are fighting for the name of art
for its characteristics of which are forgiving, lenient, relative, subjective
just to make us look a little less pathetic?

I need new electronics.

I need a new phone (have always digged Samsung designs, even the one that I bought for 21lei-equivalent to 5 euros, but their software never failed to epic fail me), a new PC/laptop(one that does not need more than 8 minutes to save a PSD file while causing me a near death experience while waiting), a new external HD(one which cables are secure that they do not unplug themselves when I apparently cause an earthquake while tapping my foot, and preferably reproduces its gigabytes the way an amoeba does).
...These are possibly the only electronic items I possess to begin with.

Hope you guys don't mind me starting rants in here? I have my phases, I promise this one won't last long.
