Ok, I admit it. The title is a little melodramatic. But what's the fun in being a poor artist if you can't also luxuriate in behaving irrationally and calling yourself tormented? That's a rhetorical question. There is no point.

And now, I would like to recap on the last two months. I'm glad that I've been keeping this blog as a kind of diary, because it enables me to do research on myself later, when I can't remember even what I did yesterday. I tend to forget most things that are not crucial, and some things that are (i.e. my house keys, my cell phone, money when I go to the grocery store, ect.) While most of you are thinking that this is probably due to drug and alcohol abuse, let me assure you that it is nothing that romantic. I think my handicapped memory is due to a combination of genes (Someday I'll write about my mad scientist Grandfather who was both gloriously obsessive and neglectful, and my Mom who thinks of everything simultaneously.) and a tragic occurrence of cerebrucide. What was that? You don't know what cerebrucide is? That's because it's a latin term that I just coined myself, meaning BRAIN DEATH. Specifically, the slaughter of brain cells that occurs when you buy a gallon jug of turpentine, take the cap off, leave it under your bed (who knows why.) and then stumble upon it six months later, empty. Luckily there have been studies that some neurons replicate after a few decades, so I might be back up to speed by the time I'm fifty. Then, I'll totally kick everyone's ass in "I packed in my grandmother's trunk..."

Since I know that all of you have been reading my blog religiously, I don't feel any need to recap on the paintings that I've created thus far, but I would like to discuss how I've changed as a person.

For starters, this is the hardest I've worked and the most productive that I've ever been in my entire life. This is a really awesome thing and also a kind of scary thing. Until this last week, I would paint all day long usually for more than 10 hours, sometimes more than 12. I say "until this last week" because this last week has been kind an emotional hellhole vortex, so I've been making hideous objects of total disaster and then destroying them.

Becoming so involved with my work is sort of forcing it to change, and allowing me to feel free to experiment in ways that I shunned before. I've been such a puritan with the realism thing, and I'm allowing myself to believe that it is okay to paint in looser, more abstracted styles and that in the long run it might be more satisfying. And do I dare say...perhaps better?

Still there is so much that I want to do, to create and not enough hours in the day to do it. I'm starting to feel so stressed out about money, and the prospect of having to go back to work if my paintings don't start selling again. The thought of working as a receptionist somewhere or god forbid, waiting tables seems so miserable, I don't think I could do it. Painting for only five hours a day, after a long day at work, seems like just the kind of thing that would drive me crazy. I wish there was a patron of the arts who could sponsor me, but I'm pretty sure that kind of thing doesn't happen nowadays unless you're putting out. The D'Medici's are a thing of the past.

And the weirdest thing that has happened this year so far is that I'm starting to feel like a grown up. Don't laugh, I mean it. Of course, I've gone through the motions for quite a while of living on my own and having a job and being responsible, but I feel like I'm transcending into this peaceful place of knowing who I am and what I want and I'm willing to make the sacrifices necessary to get it. Things are becoming more black and white to me now that were before ambiguities. I think my mother raised me to be skeptical, so I've always questioned everything that I read, or heard, or saw. I've been walking the line for so long that as I take sides on matters now, it feels like taking a breath of fresh air. So many things in my early twenties and in my early teens that seemed so important to me seem so silly now. And while I still have outbursts of emotion and days when I can't seem to care about anything or anyone except for myself and my petty problems, those days seem to come farther and farther apart, and sometimes I've noticed one of my impetuous moods surfacing and I chose to ignore it. Simple. I no longer want anyone to baby me, and so I realize I have to stop acting like one.

On that note, here are two paintings that are done. Painting twelve, and painting 13, which is a little fucked up, but I'm calling it done because it is the last day of February and I'd like to say that although I know I'm behind schedule, I'm not that behind schedule. Keep in mind that I've done at least 3 or 4 other paintings this year, but damn my stubborn inner critic, they failed to meet the criteria of *awesome*.

Painting 12


Painting 13

I know what you are thinking. What's up with that fucked up graph on the canvas. That my friends, is my bad. About three years I made the discovery that you can't put oil paint over sharpie, because sharpie is oil based (this is why you ruin your markers when you try to spit on them). Then, I forgot and threw up onto the wood, which I didn't even use, so I'm totally kicking myself. Anyway, this painting is the beginning of a series of paintings where I will be experimenting with painting planes of light, out of focus. This painting is not done. I have to figure out a way to get the sharpie to stop surfacing to the top of my painting.








Watercolor Masterpieces from the Brooklyn Museum
The recently opened exhibition features 70 stellar watercolors painting artwork from the Brooklyn Museum’s collection, chronicling the rise of the medium in America and shifts in technique over the years. The Brooklyn Museum was the first American art museum to start collecting watercolors,
so it only makes sense that all of the greats are included, and several works from some—Eakins, Sargent, Hassam, Prendergast, Marin, Marsh (and, naturally, Homer and Hopper). Going through the exhibition, you're able to see these artists progressively finding and tuning their creative voices.

"An everlasting gem that you will take into your grave."
Line from a traditional Polynesian song about tattooing


Richard Leakey - A quote from "Origins Reconsidered - In Search of What Makes Us Human".
"Each society weaves its own culture, a complex fabric of many elements, each element giving special meaning to the others. It is often difficult for someone from outside a particular culture to understand the fabric as an entity. Differences in language, in values, and in mythology create barriers to understanding. Pluck a single thread from the fabric, and the foreigner is even less likely to comprehend its significance. The painted, engraved, and carved images of prehistory are threads from past cultures, and we are the foreigners trying to interpret their meaning. Perhaps more than anything else, art can be fully understood only in the context of the culture that produced it."

 FAMOUS TATTOO QUOTES:

In 19th Century England, tattooing flourished as nowhere else in Europe, largely thanks to traveling seamen who would come back with permanent souvenirs of their travels on their arms. In 1862, it gained Royal sanction and members of the Royal family, from the Prince of Wales to King Edward VII, acquired tattoos. By 1890 the fad had spread to the US and tattoos were seen on members of the exclusive New York Racquet Club. - It is certainly the most vulgar and barbarous habit the eccentric mind of fashion ever invented. It may do for an illiterate seaman, but hardly for an aristocrat. Society men in England were the victims of circumstance when the Prince of Wales had his body tattooed. Like a flock of sheep driven by their master they had to follow suit. (Socialite of the day Ward McAllister who complained to the press about the fad) - Strange how this attitude has endured to the 21st century...

"You put a tattoo on yourself with the knowledge that this body is yours to have and enjoy while you're here. You have fun with it, and nobody else can control (supposedly) what you do with it. That's why tattooing is such a big thing in prison: it's an expression of freedom?one of the only expressions of freedom there. They can lock you down, control everything, but 'I've got my mind, and I can tattoo my body?alter it my way as an act of personal will.' " DON ED HARDY

"But to become a freak one needs a strong character and unusual determination."
George Burchett - Memoirs of a Tattooist, 1956


Traditionally, body art has served to attract the opposite sex, boost self-esteem, ward off or invoke spirits, indicate social position or marital status, identify with a particular age or gender group or mark a rite of passage, such as puberty or marriage. It's this sort of strictly prescribed, highly ritualistic decoration that Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher depict in their book, African Ceremonies. "We've tried to show how body art is relevant to every stage of development, from birth to death," says Angela Fisher.


FAMOUS TATTOO QUOTES:

Primitive tribes were certainly convinced that the spirit, having escaped from the body at death, retained a replica of its earthly tenement. They therefore used tattoo marks as a means of identification in the next world and a passport to future happiness. (Ronald Scutt, Art, Sex and Symbol, 1974, p. 63)

"Not one great country can be named, from the polar regions in the north to New Zealand in the south, in which the aborigines do not tattoo themselves." Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man, 1871


In Tahiti, not all Europeans responded with the enthusiasm that had been exhibited by the British Admiralty's Captain James Cook, his Science Officer and Botanist, Sir Joseph Banks - who received a traditional Polynesian tattoo - and dozens of the ordinary sailors and seamen aboard Cook's ships. Missionaries who arrived in Tahiti at the end of the 18th century, turned tattooing from a standard practice into an embarrassing and punishable act of Paganism. King Pomare II was converted to Christianity in 1812 and he immediately put force behind a severe, regulated code that had been laid out by the missionaries. The death certificate for traditional tattoos was essentially signed in 1823 with the passage in the code that stated: "No one shall be tattooed and this practice should be completely abolished. This is an old and bad habit. Men or women who get tattooed will be judged and punished... The punishment for men will be work on ten measures of road for the first tattoo and 20 measures for the second tattoo... The punishment for women will be to make two big coats; one for the king and the other for the governor."

"As for the primitive, I hark back to it because we are still very primitive. How many thousands of years of culture, think you, have rubbed and polished at our raw edges? One probably; at the best, no more than two. And that takes us back to screaming savagery, when, gross of body and deed, we drank blood from the skulls of our enemies, and hailed as highest paradise the orgies and carnage of Valhalla." - JACK LONDON
