If you care what other people think, you'll never create art.

There are other reasons I'm not an artist.

Lack of talent and short little span of attention being only two :wink:

Funny thing is I actually felt like I was an artist for a while when I was doing that but then the short little span of attention thing took over and now, looking back, being an artist (or imagining I was) really wasn't all that great. Almost a million youtube viewers preferred me when I wasn't trying to be one anyway :D

Man, who cares? Just do stuff. Try not to kill anybody though.

I much prefer being an audience than an artist. I think maybe there's just two types of people.

I just mean in general... do your thing, let other people worry about what to call it.

I think you're an artist. I know you don't want to be labeled it (for good reason) but you are.

Art is subjective.

If you think a pile of rotting corpses looks pretty then it's art.



Oh, I don't know.  I've found many things artistic that I didn't think at all pretty.   Art is more than pretty.  I've also seen some pretty things that were...fairly un-artistic, though that is probobly a failure of my perception, and not of the things themselves.

Point is, even if I found the pile of rotting corpses ugly as hell, I think there's a chance I might still find it artistic.

Sometimes I like to contextualize L. Ron as an artist in the same sense I would consider The Joker to be one.

Isn't every artist a con artist? This is why I'll never do well, too damned honest.

Anyways, as far as killing goes, it really depends at what scope or who, and how.

Like inducing a heart attack in Nancy Grace while she is dressed up like a dirty old man, hunched over the raped corpse of Chris Hanson while in a lolita outfit would be kind of awesome.

But killing a random unknown and carving shit in their belly like gee whiz Im a crazy murderer, its been done. Its old hat, and thus, not art.

Hmm.
yall are bigger dorks than I am

Can you elaborate on this please.  I'm not quite sure I get your angle.
