Today I am dealing with the worst demon of all...myself. Today I am a horrible monster of a person. How could I possibly create anything beautiful that anyone would want to see much less buy? If I had a paint brush right now I would cover the canvas in black and red. I would take a knife and rip it to shreds. I would set it on fire and burn it to the ground. Then I would bury it deep never to be found.
Sucks to be me.
A Little Forethought...
Every artist has a history. Well, everyone has a history but we tend to think, or at least I tend to think, that an artist has something going on within that head, that heart, that soul that makes him or her creative. Yes, I said "makes him or her creative". Because you rarely see or read or hear about an artist who expresses him or herself, no matter what outlet he or she chooses to use, just because he or she can. No. In movies and music and books and exhibits and so on, artists create because we have inner demons we need to deal with and only by expressing ourselves through our art can we do said dealing. Were we all happy with our pasts, presents and futures...well, I guess we wouldn't be artists. At least that's what I tend to think. How about you? Here are little bits about my past, present and future inner demons. Allow me to express.
