We saw several interesting artists online today and although interesting, I don't think it helped me with my own identity. Some artists like Oliver Herring have these deep emotions that make their lifestyles change and become part of their work, I am not that kind of artist...at least not at this point in my life. Art is the only profession I see myself in but to indulge yourself so much so that you're not doing anything else day or night.....wow. I did relate to his feelings when he lost his friend. Last year I had a close friend commit suicide and it is hard to try to take your mind off of it. But I find that I don't like to present things that are so "deep", it seems a bit cliche to me, yet it is the only thing I can seem to come up with at this point, I'll keep trying.
