Strange Day of an Artist

Journal Entry: Mon Sep 25, 2006, 6:36 PM
true art is an expression of the artist.

craft and subject matter dont matter.

as long as the art says something unique about the one who created it.


Riddled with message of where the artist came from,

who he is, and where he is going.


Today someone saw some of my work and said

the work emmanated the vibrations of who I am.

the vibes intrinsic to human identity. A little deep huh?

I was blown away, that they said this.

it really made my day.

it really makes me question what it is I am really doing.

Is it art? craft? or ME?

And here I thought it was just about money. heheh.

Am I really just trying to show people who I am?

Or is it just me trying to visually demonstrate what lies within?


it sounds so subconscious, after 20 years of doing art. is it??? does it matter?

am I really stumbling on the existence of why I am really created art?

Is it more about than pure monetary value, and am I leaving some

sort of signature and fingerprint behind?


My only question is. Why is structure and design so important.

and does it justify itself as art, if it reaches that plateau of signifiying who I am as a person or as an artist, without the merits

or being visually pleasing, or maybe the chance it wont sell.

or has any merits or monatary value connected to it.

It's funny the pieces that I wont sell mean something instrinic

to my identity, and I cant even put a price tag on it,

because its a part of me I wont let go.

not yet anyway.

But then someone suggested I fill my mouth full of skittles and spit

the mouthful out on canvas!

OMG now is that ART!??????


lack of sleep, too much beer last night.

lack of sleep, the roofman woke me up and intruded.

Then some guy who annoyed me by ringing the doorbell.

I need sleep.


all these thoughts cause the crazy roofer came over and saw my art.


another breakthrough,

just because water was pouring in on me in my sleep.
