What's the point.

Mon Apr 19, 2010, 5:59 PM
There is no point. Hey, who cares. Maybe I should just start submitting pictures of my ass on this site. It'd take me no time at all and I'm sure I'd get a ton of "attention" for it.

Oh damn you personal integrity and self worth...

I said I wasn't gonna swear anymore....*bites lip* But I really wanna drop an F bomb followed by an "OFF". You can call anything art. Don't gimme that ART @%!#. I will tear your head off.

I'm outta here anyway.

I know how you feel.

I would say, that you maintain your integrity because you let your art speak for it's self. You didn't not use a cynical calculus to garner attention; despite the obvious anonymity of the net, you would rather be closer to yourself than created an elaborate persona.

The concept that somehow because it's the internet and that almost all things becomes socially acceptable spits on a general social contract we all want to go by. When someone abuses that social contract, that person should be run out on a rail from polite internet society and not exalted or coddled.

In my mind, it's much easier to keep track of telling the truth and build upon a lie.

Oh and I wrote this long before the Jessica Elwood thing exploded into complete scandal too. (That's what this was about) the naked pictures weren't even HER!!!

Yeah, I would still never post nude pictures of myself online, even if I were completely anonymous. I have seen some lovely, classy nudes however on this site and I've taken several years of life drawing without a problem whatsoever. The issue isn't with nudity, I guess it's just how it comes across... I wish I were better at describing what I mean but I'm not terrific with words. JE was being trashy, and there was so much more to than I even knew when I wrote this journal.

We should like...do a collab together. One of those artsy-fartsy things where we take grayscale pictures of ourselves in various poses and degrees of clothedness. We could become instantly acclaimed that way.

Alternately, we could start doing crappy sprite comics. Oh wait. I already do. And it isn't working.

*tightly hugs* Jessie. For what it's worth, I greatly admire and appreciate you and the art you bring to this site. Even if you don't think so, you brighten up a lot of peoples' days with your insight into things and your unique drawing style. It would be a shame to see you go, but I certainly wouldn't blame you for doing so, all things considered. Sometimes, you just can't win. *squeeze*

And because our pictures are in grayscale they MUST be art. Everything in grayscale gains artistic credibility by at least 500%. True fact!

Don't worry too much about the idiots here. You have more friends who love you and your art, including myself.
