I hate acrylics on canvas. Painting on canvas is SO IRRITATING and I only just remembered today while working on my American Lit Creative Response.
YOU LULLED ME INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY BY TIME ONCE, CANVAS, BUT NEVER AGAIN! NEVER AGAIN WILL I FALL TO YOUR PROFESSIONAL-LOOKING CHARMS. DAMN YOU, CANVAS. DAMN YOU TO THE 7TH LEVEL OF HELL.
With that over with, The Secret Garden is awesome, and so is Andrew Knott from History Boys when he's a wee chubby-cheeked little laddie. D'Awwwwl. (He's also in Black Beauty. Do you know who else is in Black Beauty? Oh I dunno, David Thewlis)
Being an artist of any kind is SO irritating. Do other people go through the periods of self-doubt that we go through, I mean on a working basis?
I know that my art teacher says "if you don't look at your work and go 'Oh god why did I ever even think of trying to do this? What the fuck was I THINKING?!' that you've got a problem, because it's way normal"
But still. I mean, do accountants do that? Do they throw down their accounts and go "DAMN IT WHY DID I THINK I COULD EVER MULTIPLY 2000 BY 56 I MEAN WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN!? -SOB-"
I realize I am demeaning a very useful and serious profession by the fact that I have no idea what it entails, but it seemed like a good example at the time.
PS: I've come up with a great witty remark. Ok, so it goes like this "I'm about as (insert talent such as "math-inclined" or "psychic" here) as a radioactive gecko." "Um... excuse me?" "Well have you ever met a radioactive gecko that was psychic?" "I've never met a radioactive gecko." "Well there you go, then." It is certain to win me many many prizes. >3
