About Me

This is My Cat Every Morning:
Asha Kitty
Sometimes I eat like it's my first and last meal all at the same time.I believe artists today are too busy trying to be other things and forget about aesthetics. I'm very much interested in the 1980's. I believe it has something to do with nostalgia. Neil says this is never a good thing for art. I think he's wrong.
I am more awesome than you. I don't wear, nor need, contacts. Have been informed that I am cynically permiscuous AND a witty conversationalist (though I'm not sure what that first one even means). I love Jesus.
You look for me for years, but forget me soon after I'm found; one day someone will remember.
Pet Peeves, Grievances, and Annoyances:
People who do not proof-read. People who are continuously and unapologetically late.

AND....... I have to say that I will more than likely deny your add request if you do not message me first.

My Interests

Art. Art. People. Art. Verbage. Grammar. Eloquently written. Eloquent speech. Word play. Fore play.

I'd like to meet:

The bizarro me; for I believe I would learn a great deal about myself by seeing what I am not.

John Currin. Jeff Koons. Jenny Saville. Elisabeth Condon at both 14 and 65.

On Jeff Koons: "That's not Kitsch, far from it! That's Camp. Camp is when the artist is first to laugh and others laugh with him. Kitsch is dead serious." And if you're a crap-hole, don't talk to me.. I don't want to know you.

Crits

First of all, why does art and photograhy have to be put together.. what I mean is, why is photography singled out as though we do not already understand "Photography" to be an art form? Shouldn't it...

Artistic separation

What's with this trend of artmaking where the artist creates a work, and photographs it, only to show/ exhibit the photograph?    I'm having issues with this as I tend to think the artw...
