Next time you go to a con, TAKE YOUR PORTFOLIO!

It's become a ritual of sorts. I decide to go to a convention, I spend months making plans, working on costumes, working out a schedule. Then I get there, and of course, wind up oogling all of the pretty arts. And inevitably, my con-going companion makes a remark such as, "Hey, that reminds me of that one piece that you did" or "Isn't that the program you use?" Which, of course, leads the artist to say something like, "Oh, you're an artist, too? Do you have a booth? No? Well, do you have your portfolio?"

And then I have my friend and this artist I just met ganging up on me and demanding that next time I bring my portfolio. And then I stand there, yet again, feeling like a doofus because I keep forgetting to pimp myself.

I blame it on the stupid sense of realism I developed during my adolescence. I've always been a dreamer, but at some point in my life, I trained myself to keep my feet on the ground and my head firmly out of the clouds. I taught myself to view my art as a nice, little hobby--nothing more.

Now, years later, here I am in the midst of a wonderful technological era that has presented me with the perfect medium for my artistic talents--giving me the means to have half a chance of actually making it in the art world. And now I'm trying to undo years of self-brainwashing.

I find myself sinking into the old habit of looking at my art as a hobby, and I am perpetually being thrown off kilter by the folks around me who view it as a potentially profitable talent.

And I'm rambling. Long story short, this is a reminder to myself.

I am an artist.

TAG!!!
love you to death. If I don't get this back, I understand. But I have a game for you. Once you read this letter, you must send it to 15 people that you really care about, including the person that sent it to you. If you receive at least 7 back, then you are loved. Nobody knows what they have until they loose it. You never leave the person whom you love for the one you like, because that person who you like will leave you for the person whom they love. Tonight, right at 12:00am, your true love is going to realize that they LOVE you! Then something is going to happen to you between 1:00 and 2:00 a.m. Tomorrow, be ready for the greatest shock of your life. If you break this chain, you are going to have bad luck in love for the next years of your life. Send this to 15 people in 15 minutes. Do it if you wanna know who your real love is YOU CANNOT RETURN THIS AS OF NOW

Ja, I so do...I have a venetian mask fetishy one of him waiting at the moment, actually, I just need to get to a scanner...plus I promised scantily clad ones of nymph frolics and somewhat nude Dustfinger in return for votes for a modelling project (I'm no. 20 in the grey corset dress)
: [link]

Maybe I was drunk at the time? Anyway, heh, yes, BRIBERY, and I may withhold Shirtless Dustfinger until I'm sure of votes (you can ONLY vote after the 16th December,apparently). Or feed the picture in in 2centimetre wide slices, one-at-a-time just to annoy...anyway, well see how those turn out...Dustfinger's all very pagan and into natural states and the like, if I keep it all cool and elegant I'm sure he'll wear it well....
~dead-poet:icondead-poet: Nov 30, 2006, 6:35:25 AM
Thanks! Glad you like 'im. :)
And oooh, the eyes... They are lovely, aren't they? Paul's, I mean. Not my poor ickle turtle-eyed Silas. :P

Also, good little stalker that I am, I would like to take this opportunity to say "ZOMG!11! You TOTALLY need to do more Dustfinger fanart!!1!"

*whew* Pardon my inner fangirl... She's a bit... excitable. Hehe. *blinks innocently*

Inter-site stalkerage may commence as of now (heaven knows, it appeals to my inner rabid attention-seeker...).

:) Nice Silas, btw. Dig the huge eyes, they're like fantastic turtles or summat...and he HAS just got the bluest, ooooscariest eyes ever, hasn't he? I noticed it on the DVD re-watch.
