Hot Girls Like Art

Opposite my studio every few weeks, there’s a queue of girls.

They’re queuing for a fast fashion store that sells clothes in a single size, so they only fit skinny girls.

Something happened a few years ago, we started thinking that how we look is more important than how we feel.

How we present ourselves.

How others perceive us.

I’ve met some hot girls in my life, but generally they’re not hot because they sit and prune how they look all day, it’s because they’ve figured out that being hot is more about knowing yourself and ngaf.

For me, that’s art.

Fashion will only take you part of the journey

Eventually, you’ll have to turn inward.

And figure out who you really are.

These notes are my way of understanding that journey while making stuff that nobody asked for.

I’m a conceptual artist, so if you like to think, hopefully I’m a helpful sparring partner for you in whatever you’re thinking about.

I’ve been making and selling art since I was 14. By 29, I’d finally gotten good enough to live off the things I make. I will rarely show you stuff I’ve made for you to buy, but if you want anything, drop me a DM.

Along the way, I’ve been a soldier, a corporate dog, I’ve been broke, I’ve been rich, and I’ve done everything in between. I don’t like rules, and I don’t know how “the art world” works. My art teacher kicked me out of class because I was disruptive when I was 15, and I haven’t been back since.

I like being disruptive.

I don’t know where this goes.

But.

I know it’s going to be interesting.

Hope you enjoy the ride.

Love you loads
