Is it possible for us to brainstorm in this thread? Maybe help you think of avenues and possibilities? There's a lot of brains in here  2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

i do actually have another show coming up i just found out today... 
maybe i'm just being too ambitious? See? That heifer won't matter when U're rich and famous!  i know... 
its just hard to make art that YOU as the artist can fall in love with while making the VIEWER fall in love with them too... i'm always in love with my work (for the most part) and maybe that's narcissistic of me... but it's an extension of who i am... it's my heart... if i don't love me, who will? that's my art.... it's just hurtful that the art world is that critical... i'm just a hippy with something to say  [...i think i can, i think i can, i think i can...] | |

Better you learn that now oh yeah i know, i can be that way too with other artists its just, ive been TOLD by my profs that i was something special and that if i didn't apply for honour studio it'd be a damn shame... i was told by that bird herself, that i should really do it, and that she thinks i would do really well in it... AND NOW THIS. like gatdamn. the art world is rarely confusing (to me) but it definitely is contradicting.. to the point of madness... glad i'm going to be a professor and not a fulltime artist. i'd off myself.

I'm sorry, sammi. But listen to the wisdom being shared here. This sort of letdown very often does turn out to be a source of great inspiration and drive later. It can build you.
...In the meantime, I don't live very far from you. Let me know where this chick lives. I've got some rough-n-tumble homies down in Cleveland who could come on up and, well... We could make it look like an accident.  Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Remind U of anyone? ( )
U have to do what works for U. Everyone's not going to love it; art IS subjective- like music and poetry and fashion. But if U don't it will show in your work that your heart isn't in it. U do U. U have talent- I've clicked on your link...

You can have your own symbol years! Since you saw Prince do it, you know which mistakes not to make i should start writing SLAVE on my face! 
seriously though, the thought of having my own symbol era is very seductive to me, and something i'll be looking into..
and thank you for clicking my link chocolate1 i didn't think anyone did...[...i think i can, i think i can, i think i can...] | |

and thank you for clicking my link chocolate1 i didn't think anyone did...I usually do- I learn a lot about people, and see some great things, like your art.

sammij said: i had been working my ass off all last year and this year to prepare some work for applications into this gallery residency that my school has hooked up...
...and i spent hours on my application, and i was proud of it... and was convinced, confident, that i'd get in.. ...the chair of the department gave me the bad news 10 minutes ago. i didn't get in. she claims i'm not ready yet - but i see some of who got into the program, and i wonder. it just so happens that she's one of my profs too (the chair of the department) and has had it out for me since about a month ago. no reason at all - but there's a change in her how she interacts with me. not that i'm blaming that on my failiure.. i just... 
i worked so hard, you know? and i can't talk to anyone here at home about it because they just. don't . CARE. nor do they bother to try and understand. sorry, as you were. everything is nothing. The original topic plus this: "oh yeah i know, i can be that way too with other artists its just, ive been TOLD by my profs that i was something special and that if i didn't apply for honour studio it'd be a damn shame... i was told by that bird herself, that i should really do it, and that she thinks i would do really well in it... AND NOW THIS. like gatdamn. the art world is rarely confusing (to me) but it definitely is contradicting.. to the point of madness... glad i'm going to be a professor and not a fulltime artist. i'd off myself." Indicates: you should go back to those professors who encouraged you, and ask what could have been done different?, how could you improve your chances?, if given the opportunity.... I wouldn't take this lying down. Consider it a learning opportunity. I'd particularily approach the Chair of the Department, and ask for specifics on the "not ready" explanation. Do you have e-mail communication? Anything you can get in writing would help and maybe define what the department wants. I know it's "art" but let's eliminate the vague ambiguities. The problem with the education system at all levels: there's donors, alumni, friends of those in power, etc....that you have to work against.  | |
