Now i know i don't talk about it much, but one thing you guys might not know about me is that I am quite the art connoiseur.
okay i guess you could say I don't actually know anything about art, but i mean, i DID take art appreciation 2000. (don't let that big number fool you, it's pretty much the lowest level art class you can take, and probably also the easiest.) but i got an A.
well, i like some really good shit. you could like show me something and i'll pretty much be able to tell you "yes i like it" or "no i don't" and i'm always right. you could say it depends on who you ask but if you ask basically anyone they will agree with me.
anyways, there is actually a point to all this.
there is this new artist i've recently gotten into. maybe it's more than that, i mean i've completely immersed myself in his work like super Keats style. like, lost in the moment for sure. it's that intense. and i say recently not because there ever was a time when i just didn't "get it", but because i only recently was introduced to the genius. this guy has talent like oozing from him at all times. and he's still so young.
also, you shouldn't get discouraged when you find out his work originates from MS Paint, because that is merely the blank template onto which his creative juices flow forth.
so i guess what i mean to say is you guys should totally check him out as soon as you can because any moment now some rich dude is going to stumble upon one of his works and he's going to recognize his insane ability and then capture him and force him to mass produce these babies, and well, we indie kids understand the importance of appreciating art before it gets too mainstream, right guys?
who's with me?
all you need is AOL instant messenger, the abilty to directly connect, and just a few short minutes when you have a poor connection. but it's definitely worth the wait.
oh, and you'll need the artist's screen name.
well i'm not sure if i am at liberty to divulge that information, so just ask him yourself.
his name is robert gunn.
