I fell asleep in his arms... things are growing and its nice.
i find so much beauty in people i dont know what to do with. my art is frustrating. inspiration and technique are constantly at battle with one another. Usually Direct TV wins. That depresses me the most. I want to draw comic strips, graphic novels, erotica cartoons. Then my art school training tells me how "low brow" that is. Then my head screams back "fuck you you pretentios bastard." THen another voice says, "your dont have anything to really say," then this other voice looks at people who just make art like they make lunch or a cup of coffee. They do it, they like it, it comes naturally. i hate direct TV>
i talked about the word gay in class today with a group of sixth graders. They called a boy that was "modeling" for a figure drawing lesson "gay." I asked them what they thought that word meant. i got "happy" first. THen i got, "when a man likes a man" "Faggot" and "homosexual." One of my students said, "did you know they opened a gay high school?" I said yes and then I asked the class why would there be such a school. one student replied, "because its safer for them there." I was really impressed with their answers. We had a longer converstation but that was the beginning- and it went OK>
