This is the under-underpainting loves, on the way to the messy middles!
The site is on the way. That is after switching gears of polemics in relation to Guattari, I've been working out matters of non-literal form. Not to say I will not do more informatic modeling, but it would work in relation to say, interesting nodes that could be used to design a bumper sticker, which I like that idea. High form bumper stickers. That is something I could get into. Anyhow, In terms of the inner workings of this art process, I do want a continuity, that crosses avenues, commerial, personal, institutional, as a continuous cycle that references and interacts fluidly. Additionally, I loathe social media as promotion, but I do like social media as inspiration, but like pinterest, finding that authenticity of inspiration, of actually interacting with images, rather than posting a pin and saying I'm inspired magically, it doesn't make sense to me at all. Inspiration would manifest into some form of driven motivation I would think, and motivation wouldn't involve incentive at all. I don't say this in a way that attempts to be the absurd purity ring many critics in the stands like to play in relation to the artists actually doing art at a level that is...involved. When one desires to polish their pucker, behold, one not engaged in the rigors of process, on that Talk-Talk plan, attempting a game of verbal squirts for gatekeeping measure, that flat-lines entirely. But I don't care, say and think whatever you like. The focus is simply considering how to engage these expected activities among one's creative endeavors in a way that grounds into the motivation itself. And I really am having diffculties embracing the short clip videos, and the cute and complete presentations that read like sugar pop for short-attention spans and mindless dribble piss for the eyes. I like how social activities can inspire, but it would manifest and there would be stages, sometimes incomplete and ugly, like the beginnings of a quick setup for a painting that I am doing. And I have read the seo "books" which I have found one among the bunch that doesn't scream, you too can live a successful life in the mirror with all that money you are getting. Rather, it is talking about algorithms, and I like the fact that this writer is calling out the glorified storefront on social media sites. Larger companies do this, but it is uninteresting. It's a banal version of actually walking into their store, so why develop a social media account in that way? I can criticize my activity currently as well, as I created a board of "inspiration" and I posted pins, of these matters that were intended to atleast show some activity to keep the account open, but I then sobered up to the fact that I am doing nothing with these pins, other than, oh look...a pretty little thing. No thanks. That's not inspiration. Seems like, though, I am engaging matters in a meaningful way, after setting up TC, the commercial stuff, of which I will work from that avenue to inform at least one form of painting post-production, as well as do paintings for pre-production. Will I show insta's of me painting? I doubt it. At this point, I'd prefer to be a sarcastic ass, as an old soul, who we were in a band together did, though he's not the sarcastic ass, it's just too gay, rather he's the nice asshole of the bunch. Anyhow, I should just do what he did, and take pictures of pictures of photos on a hearth. It's a lot of glinting distortion these days, and I mean to paint, well I mean unless it's commercial it's fraud, right? Or if you are dealing with the gatekeep notions, your art is beautiful as long as it's ugly, and as long as you aren't able to make a living from it? The lose-lose play I think. If it is that, L-L, then everything is nice and spice. If it is W-W, then it's cross-hairs for the asshole who puts color on ancient statues. Nothing we haven't encountered before. Anyhow, I have TC going, and there seem to be 4 avenues of physical painting going as well. The piece posted now, is simply subject painting, with open impression influences. I am messing around with various setups, which isn't a matter of the one who needs to "learn" of passive-agressive assholery among the smiling face that likes to Talk-Talk, not Do-Do, unless we add a couple of oos, and we can recover from the shine of that polished pucker ready to be the literal to all. Where am I?
Back to painting....which there are a lot of ugly stages to everything that I do. Simply sharing this because a little sobriety I think can help in relation to people I observe wanting to create, but they find themselves turned off, when their creations do not look so great initially. Embrace the ugly. It's beautiful. Consider. Ponder. Start to experiment with the way one can stack colors and arrangements, then what was discouraging becomes a source of motivation. So yeah, I want to post ugly aspects to my work. I want to offer some avenue where I can share messy middles and beginnings, so someone can create their own ugly piece and not run away from something they always wanted to do. They can take note this is how it begins and good things will come. Who knows. Maybe I will not do that? Meaning, among my art courses, tutors, and fellow artists, there have been discussions about limiting the display of prep work because everyone wants Marilyn, not Norma Jean. I certainly tend to go my own way, but I do have to consider that as well. Some folks just thrive on being assholes towards those who create, all the while playing it with a smile and earth angel act. We shall see.
I do think though, this under-underpainting is fantastic, in that I am noting of the colors and arrangements I will layer, of which the look will transform. Still, this stage reminds me of Banksy. It's like graffiti meets some kind of odd Italian restaurant decor, and it will get messier before it all comes together, but this stage motivates...
Currently painting my nuts. Everyone should try this. I'm not exactly sure how paint works on the snatch. I am the golden star, but for the nuts, it is quite therapeutic. There are face painters, and it is the age of niche marketing, so who knows, maybe I could be a therapeutic nut painter. I mean when it is all about the aspirations of content creation and finding your own unique voice. I mean who else is doing this. And fine, it could be crass, but I'd like to live in a world, where men could have clothing to afford the old meat satchel to hang out from time to time, of which we could display topiaries and fine works of classical paintings on the ol bean bag. It's good for the market. It's the next big thing, so long as it is a mild/hot day. Maybe even a brand of colorful cozies for the winter, with fun sayings, like I'm a nut patch kid, or can't touch this or magic beans stop here. I mean we put animal fat on lips and it floats an entire industry, so it's now time for the guys to do their part, and open up this economic opportunityso we all can benefit. For the good of the country. For the good of industry. Let's all let freedom bling with jewels for the jewels...
Where am I?
A labyrinth, a minotaur...greek statue vs roman statue....sun upon a television screen....handcrafted mini trireme for the nuts...life could be more interesting, and educational I think. Why conceal any kind of weaponry when you can doll it up like a sock puppet? I mean we all love and adore lamb chop...then we create the needed value to offer synergies, like Macy's day parade floats...Like Miss America, there could be Sir Snatch Patch Universe. There would be synchronized dwerking (dick twerking). It would open up dance schools for dwerking. The victor could develop their custom designs and promote on various products, like rasinets, Jelly Bellies, and Swanson microwave dinners (who knew you could do that with the mashed potatoes). Think of the possibilities among this hard economic time.
What's happening here? Creativity, underpaintings, the embrace of the ugliness, the undesirable, as beautiful. Why not see beauty in everything, even if it is hard to swallow?
