WARNING: This journal is highly sarcastic and ironic. Do not read it if you don't have a wicked sense of humor. Like me.



I came to that conclusion after I read a certain blog on Tumblr called "Artist Problems". On this blog people submit their thoughts and artistic problems they encounter as artists. When I saw one of those quotes saying: 'Artist Problem #204 - When you're sketching and people start watching over your shoulder', I thought that it's pretty good and it applies to myself. So I clicked 'Follow' button as I wanted to be enlighted by witty quotes and socialize with other artists in pain.

After that the great dissapointment struck my head.

Because out of tons pictures with 'Artistic Problems' written down I browsed on that blog almost NOTHING applied to me.
At first I thought ' What a bunch of lousy losers, how can they call it a problem?' But then I saw a lots of comments under every single picture 'OMG IT'S SO TOTALLY ME', 'YES, THIS BRINGS ME SO MUCH PAIN' and then I started doubting if I am the real artist.
I am generally a happy person, quite confident in my skills (still, knowing that I have a lot to learn untill I reach perfection), mean to others, knowing when to say 'No, fuck you' if someone wants me to draw something for free etc, etc. - so yeah, I never suffered true, artistic angst or felt rejected because of my passion.

So, lets take a closer look on few quotes, which make me think that I am not TRUE enough:

Gibberish. They are prettier now, clean clothes are too mainstream.

There is nothing more beautiful than smell of the fresh paint, gasoilne or turpentine.
Plus, pictures made whan you are 'high' have more artistic value.

Foolish people. In fact the word 'ARTIST' is not enough too.
They should use a full form of it which is ' Mr/Ms Stiff Ass ARTIST ze Fabulous'

What would I do in this situation?Here:

Random: Hey, can I borrow some of your artistic stuff?
Me: Yes, but only if I would be a generous person. Oh wait, I'm a stingy bitch, go away.

When I was still living with my family:

Mom: What would you like for Christmas?
Me: I want <insert name="" of="" quality="" coloured="" pencils=""> set. If they are too expensive just buy me a sketchbook. Under no circumstanes do not buy <insert name="" of="" cheap="" brands=""> unless you want to waste your money since I will never use it.

Worked every time.

'Heeey, can you help me with my homewoooork? I will be very greatfull!'
No. Do me that kindness and fuck yourself.

Nonsense. I am never jealous of my friends art - because jealousy is too weak.
When I see that someone did a great picture I always hate them with all my heart and think I can do better.
After that I sit and start drawing a masterpiece. Yes, my art is powered by hate, anger and pure envy.
Best motivation ever.


So yeah, these are few examples why I am dissapointed by this blog. It doesn't mean that that blog is bad though. It just means that I am not fit to be called a real artist. But wait - I always hate when someone calls me like that :D

For me, there is always Art Student Owl. It fits my sense of humor and personality much better:
