MOTHER FUCKING DANICA TIME MOTHER FUCKER.
ALL THE WRITING DONE HERE IS MINE, SO DON'T FUCKING STEAL IT. READ IT.
“I have always been fascinated by portraiture. To me a successful portrait has a presence. It has weight. The portrait evokes the emotional presence of the subject as well as the viewer. In my exploration, the defining goal is to create a portrait that becomes an experience to view. By using the familiarity of the face as the template, my process involves hand painting the developer in the darkroom, intentionally revealing specific, desired aspects of the face in the negative. Doing so creates a stark negative space that gives the portrait a lucidity. Instead of creating a realistic, straight from film portrait, I am more interested in exploring how the original image can be brought to the surface in alternative ways. The portraits embody their own unique strangeness. I enable the viewer to process impressions of a face, and of the shape of a head. I am comfortable with the viewer ultimately feeling uncomfortable. My job as an artist is to challenge the viewer. Make the viewer see differently, think differently, and most importantly, feel differently.”
What bands am I listening to these days, right?
Next you can wheedle about whether there isn’t some cute little cunt in the front row who’s got me itchy. That way you can segue into how it’s all up to me of course, but before balling the chick in the hallway, I might decide to wait until I’m ready.
Right around dessert you can ask about drugs, real careful-like because you don’t want to scare me into like lying my head off, so you have to say how ‘you’ve experimented.’
Then finally once you’ve sucked up that entire bottle of wine, you can go all gooey eyed and say how nice it is to spend ‘quality time together.’ You can scooch over and put your arm around my shoulder… give it a little squeeze.
