Cigarettes are for men, art is for faggot-assed pussies.
It's been an odd weekend. Unpleasantness with TG-YK,TOIRLAL,ETISWICJSHWAPOPHWABBB, TWO trips to the art store, laundry and groceries and homework.... and NO FUCKING CIGARETTES.
I -like- my poisons. At least, the ones I get to choose.
I miss cigarettes, but I miss them less every day. Damn, it'd be nice if those nicotine patch guys came up with patches for other stuff. Feh.
Well, there's always caffeine. And the fumes from Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic Coating.
I am making 'art'. How gay is that shit? I'm all about linoleum block printing these days. Here I am, working in a PRINTSHOP, having a buttlaod of computers and reprographic equipment at my disposal, and I've decided to carve designs into hunks of linoleum and print shit BY HAND ONE IMAGE AT A TIME.
I made a block that I'm 1/3 fond of and 2/3 annoyed by. And I made a coouple of kinda cool prints with it. I've got my Dremel tool and a buttload of gatorboard scraps and some spray-fix, so I'm making frames and shit with them.
I'll probably end up doing some extremely convoluted "FIRST, I make a block and THEN I make some prints and THEN I scan the prints and THEN I take the scans to work and THEN I print them onto vellum and canvas and THEN I take the vellum and canvas and put together a handmade LAMP out of found materials with it. And THEN I'll write some evil, tiresome PERFORMANCE PIECE all about the severe TRAUMA I experienced as a deprived CHILD and use the LAMP as a sort of FOCAL POINT and MAJOR SIGNIFIER in the PEROFRMANCE PIECE.. " bullshit if I'm not careful.
Hmmm. I may require an INTERVENTION.
