GO FISH

I have an old set of Japanese dishes shaped like various fish, the edge of the tail on one of them chipped off long ago, and ever since has been reconciled among my art supplies. It's funny though, that shallow bowl gets more use then those deemed fit to sit among food and guests.

A watercolor palette also came to my recent attention; underside encrusted in black, remnant paper stuck on top of that -- the disaster of a spilled bottle of India ink from adolescence. I'd always assumed the designer tin ruined, but in fact, hot water and gentle perseverance with steel wool resurrected it. The few silvery scratches left behind only add another memento to the tool's essence.

There is something about art that always feels allegorical, metaphorical, mystical, and foolish. If one has been creating their entire life, the tools of trade also become a tactical trip through time, a deeply personal adventure, and a reminder that in art, mistakes can become strokes of genius. All is not lost.

Any similar tales to tell?

Michael Jackson will Live Forever in Our Hearts

Jun 28, 2009

:damphyr: God must have needed an angel. :damphyr: You were a better person than I can hope to be. It wasn't false imprisonment. It wasn't some random insane person. It was just fate. I must accept that. I didn't know what to say at first, everything seemed trite. I still wake up and can't believe it, don't quite want to be in a world where it's true; a world I feel as if I understand less and less already. Then I listen to his work and remember his messages and it's a little better.

Why I Hate Art Classes by idolhands, journal

Why I Hate Art Classes

May 31, 2009

That might be a strange statement for such an artistic person, but it was a re-occuring issue throughout my youth. Good God, did I hate them.In kindergarten I was free to pursue whatever creative activity or idea I wished, there were no assignments or required answers. My first elementary school offered a demanding art teacher who had a dark beard and mood, but he was fond of me; saw something special. That was nice. Then my family moved, to middle class kingdoms and suburban wastelands. No culture. Wall-to-wall homogony. My second elementary art teacher, a trendy bottle blonde, hardly knew what to do with me, but then neither did the whol...
