2008 Art Show..

Thu Oct 16, 2008, 3:28 AM
Hello non-faithful readers.. Big last few weeks. I finish school in 1 day! but leading up to this was the 2008 Art show, that i had to set up and orchestrate almost..

Anyway, i have had lots and lots of offers for art being bought by teachers and students alike, but now i'm at that stage of every artists life when they realize and have to ask themselves 'can i really part with this?' Y'know? and now after thinking about it 'Killnation' is one of my greatest achievements..
Its special because of the topic of it.. Male Depression. i know that sounds cliche but after geoff's death, i had to do something because more than anything i'm scared of loosing people to themselves, i cant imagine what it would be like to be stuck in your own head with your end in mind. scares the shit out of me.. A friend wants to buy it and i'm not sure if ill do it or not.. We'll see i'll tell you if i do dw..

But anyway on a lighter note... I SOLD MY FIRST ARTWORK!!
(big step for me) and i'm not even looking to do fine art at university. Didn't go for a VCA interview but you know i have these pangs at the back of my head when i think about art as a future. I enjoy it more than anything.. i dont know what to do about it.. i still really want to do landscape architecture it just seems to fit!!

The artwork i sold was called 'Basquiat what killed you' using elements from basquiat and my own styles i created (this artwork which i will post) it was a appropriation of his work, trying to examine his mind processes from his artwork ';pegasus'. Still my favorite artist..

Art Show was a uber success!! it was the last day today so bad luck...
Anyway. LOVE TO ALL!

Peace out!
