I seem to have given someone or perhaps some people the wrong impression to some people. I do not hate boys. Contrary to what I may say sometimes, I do not believe that I am cursed, oh I am definitly gifted. I am also imbued with the knowledge of the gods. I am like the Pope, well, if the Pope were really really hot, swung a hammer like Thor, and liked to do tequilla shots. As this is my birthday, I will share some of my knowledge with you.
Arts School Confidential by Daniel Clowes (see Ghostworld) is slated to be made into a movie. Go see it. I know that people wish they could create great works of brilliance and beauty, most do not. Some suffer through 4 years and mountains of debt before discovering this. I am not sure which side I fall on, but if you would like to know what art school was like, see this movie, read this comic.
You are not the first person to think about shellacking something that is dead. It is not an original idea, it is also not archival. I will not go into the science of this here and now, but just because you put on 4 coats of whatever acrylic based garbage you bought at the art supply store, does not stop the decaying process of that flattened rat you found on your way home from the bar, and you probably shouldn't be touching it anyway.
Most people do not want to hear a poem you wrote.
Although, "If you can't make it good, make it big. If you can't make it big, make it red, because anything big and red is good." sounds good, it is not true. It is not true for paintings, it is not good for ceramic furry plaster vaginas that you can climb in, it is not good for photography, even if you cross process, nobody wants to see a red blurry photo of your armpit or whatever, even if you made it into a really big C-print and it is definitly not good for performance art.
You don't have to take your clothes off to make good art. If you are really into taking them off, rethink it a few times before you actually do it. People probably don't want to see your series of nude self portraits with vegetables and pets that you have been painting with your menses. I know it's disgusting.
If it comes from inside you or has been there,it most likely should not be used as an artists medium.
Shock Art Mostly sucks, get over it.
You had no friends in school. You were alone, you were a loser, you are no less of a loser now, you are just in a room full of them.
"Action Jackson" is not just a movie with Vanity and Sharon Stone.
When I say nobody or no one here, I mean everyone except for Jeremy Universal Donor, and if this list somehow applies to you, please visit his site and contact him in all ways that you can,
He wants to see your blurry red C-prints of your armpits, especially if they are unshaven.
He wants to hear your poetry about trees.
He wants to see your "drawings."
He wants to see how that dead thing exploded, and will talk at length about the crisp smell.
He will be your friend.
