Best of luck to you in your endevors.

I laugh when art makes people mad.

I laugh when madness makes art.

(Van Gogh, Picasso, Dali, etc.)

and sometimes in madness the art is found in the process of making the masterpiece.  don't you agree?

Tru dat

     I know of artists who do artistic things with dead stuff, but may we have an example of an artist who kills for 'art-sake'?

A person who kills is a murderer, whether it is artistic or not.
A person who arranges corpses in an aesthetic manner is an artist, however eccentric.

Lighting corpses on fire is cremation.
Lazy corpses rot.
Lazy people dystrophy.
Rotting is different from dystrophy in very few ways. If at all.
A person who arranges lazy people is called a celebrity.

I dislike the word Art because it refers to a class of things. sometimes I don't want what I do to be neatly categorized like that.

Like I put up posters all over my neighborhood. Sometimes someone sees me putting them up and asks what I'm doing.

if I say "I'm making art", every time they see a confusing poster, instead of living with that confusion, now they'll say, "Oh, it's art", and the matter will have been resolved.


Someone introduced me as "an artist" recently, which took me aback because I've never formally studied art, nor do I consider what I do "art". Even the digital images I create, I wouldn't call Art. When you call it art, people will compare it with other art they've seen. The piece will be mentally indexed very neatly. They'll squint to see who I'm influenced by and whom I'm referencing. And I don't want any of that baggage cluttering up my work.

Unfortunately, as soon as it's out there, your work is no longer yours to pidgeonhole.

Roll with it

I know where you're coming from.  I think the same way on some level in relations to my music.  I don't really think of myself as a "musician" in the usual sense because I've only really been trained musically on one instrument, which I can't really play very well anymore.  The rest I've just kind of picked up here and there.  I tend to think of myself as more of a "sound sculptor" than a musician.  Of course, now I sound even more pretentious so I'll shut up now.

    I can understand/ relate to that, but I think 'art' works well in regards to certain things, just as an operative term. If you create stuff, at some point it will beckon for itself, a name. Or at least, others will want to refer to it as something. When being an 'artist' gets a negative shade for me, is when people insist on the label because they think they're special. It can be uncomfortable when I read a review of my music say, and the writer compares it to this or that, but it needs to be related somehow, so I just have to let it go. Not taking what you do seriously, although you NEED to do it for sanity & you enjoy it, is the metaphysical (heavy!) pleasure of "art". I once had someone introduce me to a small group of people as a "producer" (of music) and I had the same reaction, inwardly, as you did when you were introduced as an "artist". However, I thought about it afterwords and considering the audience being addressed, that label helped them get a general idea of what I did, so I thought, whatever, to them I'm a "producer". I don't really refer to myself with a label or title. I hate describing the sound I make musically when someone asks, but they do ask. One of my favourite music distributors/ labels is called "you don't have to call it music".

I know of a guy who killed a guy by sneaking up on him and using a knife vice just easily shooting him.  Some people got upset over it, but ultimately he didnt get in trouble.

Is fraud art?

Why else would they call 'em con artists?
