egotists, artists and other bastards

why stop when i'm on a roll.

i have a lot of pals that are artists. they run the gamut from highly talented amateurs to MFAs to museum curators to people that use art daily as part of their work.

when we talk about my drawing, not only do they ALL give me the brush-off-i'm-not-amazed reaction, but to a person they all give me their little detailed theory on art and what's important. it's infuriating at a level that's hard to imagine.

do these people listen? hell no. why bother when they can pontificate instead. and of course, no two of them say the same thing. in fact, some of them directly contradict each other.

i've never seen a bunch of people that are more self-entranced, self-assured, egocentric and dismissive of any external input than these folks and i've worked with engineers for 20 years for chrissakes.

let me put this another way:

i love mikkel grüner (and therefore, by default, sara). everyone else is suspect.

rule finnmärk.

and yes, i'm done for now.

  2. oh, you're so very right ...

    what i SHOULD have said was:

    i love mikkel grüner.

    i love sara too, but in a different sort of way. because she psychologically defended my haiku when all others shirked. and she's sexy. not dead-sexy but the kind the of sexy that is if-you-can't-see-it-you're-dead. and she's a fighter. and a carer. and has bred children.

    everyone else is suspect.


    it has such a better flow and is so much more funny.

    goddammit.
