claire simone fisher

this is a portrait i took of myself when i was still living in los angeles:

i'm claire. i grew up in a funeral home with my two brothers and my mom and dad. my dad got hit by a BUS (happy, mf'er?), and my brother nate died unexpectedly from avm. suddenly i had no idea what to do with my life, so i've moved to new york to try to make it as an artist.

i used to be rebellious and deviant growing up. just because i knew that i could and i could get away with it. i mean, i was high the day my father died and i went out of my way to date every jerk imaginable. i even managed to date a guy who belonged in a mental hospital. he tried to cut a tattoo off his sister's back and i STILL dated him! thankfully those days are over.

for now i am focused on my art. i hope that i can make it on my own in this big city.

and p.s. olivier: it doesn't suck to live in new york!

this was during those "rebellious" times i was talking about.
