| my favourite quotes: "if they give you ruled paper, write the other way" -Juan Ramon Jimenez "The life of the young artist here is the easiest, merriest, dirtiest existence possible" - William Makepeace Thackeray "Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life" - Pablo Picasso "Travel, leave everything, copy the birds. The home is one of civilization's sadnesses. In a few years humanity will go back to it's nomadic state" - Gustave Flaubert "If someone tells you not to do something, thats a clue to do it" - Mark Innerst "Poetry is the language of a state of crisis" - Stephane Mallarme "Beauty exists only in struggle" - F.T. Marinetti "What we see isn't in things, but in our souls" - Salvador Dali "Poetry after all, is the feast which life offers those who know how to receive with their eyes and hearts, and understand" - Le Corbusier "I beat when I play, I play when I beat, I just want to be a round, not a square" - Liz Dougherty Pierce " Who am I? I'm a poet. My business? writing. How do I live? I live. In my happy poverty I squander like a prince, my poems and songs of love. In hopes and dreams and castles in air, i'm a millionare in spirit" - Radolfo, La Boheme "No child of mine will ever be a secretary" "Good taste is the enemy of creativity" - Pablo Picasso |
| I am not a follower of the virtues espoused by bourgeoise society. I take comfort in creating, whether it's paintings, poetry, music, or clothing. I reuse, recycle, reinvent, drape, reconstruct, transform, and create. I never sacrifice art for respectability and state-of the-art comforts. I am disdainful of the status quo. I am counter-cultural. I admire radical art, writing, fashion, thinking, until it becomes mainstream. I have the moral courage to wrestle with self-doubt, take risks, revolutionize, dismantle, and shock, endure criticism and rejection. I have the nerve to flaunt unfavourable and intrepid ideas and creations. I have a purpose, ideology, a poetic or anarchial vision unaffected by conventional views. I see all rules and most laws as an infringement of personal and artistic freedom. I express eccentricities, decadence, new fangledness, creativity and deviance with personal style. I may seem odd or unusual, and I love it. |
