Pico day take 2

Posted by linda-mota - April 18th, 2015


Never make posts after spending 5+ hours on difficult exams. You'll sound like an ass.

The MBA/BA degree program I've been taking has been an interesting experience. It's a compleatly different language then the one i'm used to reasearching and writing about. Business law is awful. It's wording is similar to that of attorney documents with all it's law jargon. It's important to know though, a lot of people in the art feild need to know this jargon so they don't get screwed over. It happens a lot, and I've had arguments with a few flakes wanting to buy a specific peice. I never take checks because of experiences of them bouncing on me, and the saftey of cash is always comforting when dealing with this stuff. I have one final offer though and waiting for payment, it's this peice for those curious.

It's been an interesting first half od the year with me staling the mailbox for a yay/nay letter for the MFA program. The director has been reassuring me, professors, and friends and people who wrote recomendation letters for me. They have more confidence in me than I do. It's an awful habit of thinking and it gets really old after 21, btu old habits die hard. I like to think it's going away. I don't have breakdowns like I did early 2014...

With that I had someone ask about that Pico Day dealie, and yea I am actually going to be there next saturday. Got ine invite a long time ago and I have the time and money so I figured why not y'know? one thing i'm worried about is showing my face. I'm a really private person, the only reaosn why I talk about really personal things is because it played a role in my work. It also helped almost no one had a face to tact on the work/posts. that always brought up another question based on other artist shennenegins. Does having a face put on the artwork affect how people will see it?

It does to an extent. Not so much for guys, but for girls it's more the case depending on the style and how pretty she is. Whenever i talk about this some of my friends call me a cynical bitch who's got such a negative veiw of girlies in the feild. unfortunatly it's the case if your work doesn't stick out and you have a pretty face. When your work sticks out and makes people take a second look, prettiness isn't a factor. I think that should be the end goal for girls in the art feild. There's so many cases (and from personal experience) with girls using their looks and pussy to get ahead. It's true whether anyone wants to admit it, and with so many girls doing it other need to show that they're work ethic would never allow them to toss their integrity like that.

I mentioned in the post I took down that the tattoo studio my to-go-to guy used to have a spot in is reluctant to hire girls because of the shenanegins they pulled. They'll hire one if her work is immaculate. The last girl they had acting like the secretary's work looked really good. Hope she goes places. When looking at girls pulling this stuff their work most of the time isn't that good. Any girl can get what she wants if she knows how to work a guy. Some argue that this is not true, but all you have to do is go people watching, yo'll see it. Go people watch in art studios and conventions, specifically the art tables by the proffessionals.

i'm going to cut myself short before I sound like a hag. The store has been pretty neglected as of late due to school work. Two things got taken down. The mouse in the jar was destroyed at school, and the big head couple block was sold. Keep a look out for new stuff though and some discount codes.

STORE

I'll be bringing some small art peices while in philly too. the biggest will probably be 9x12, if anyone's interested. You'll be skipping shipping costs. I don't know if we're going to get nametags like some 10 yea high school reuinion, but if you want to say hi look for someone wearing a big ass bird skull necklace. That is if i'm not kn a corner drawing. i'm no fun at parties, but I think this pico day is good for exposure. Come ay hi to this hag. See some of you saturday.

Have a nice day you all. :)

I'll be a short, old, white, balding, fat, ponytail guy in a black suit and tie, maybe with a flower and/or a picture of Asterix about my person. So you'll hang some pieces around, see if you can get a buyer or two? Good plan, I might even be tempted... or as you implied, beguiled by feminine charms.

Btw, have you gone to one of these before? I'm so totally gonna forget what we've talked about in the past, so remind me lol ;)

This is the first time I've been invited by the ng peeps. 2013 someone offered but I was too sloppy looking and fatfuck embaressed to go. last year was a nope too since i didn't have the money. yea that and a few friends are showing up so you know i wouln't be alone and that's reassuring. you know bringing some work wouldn't hurt i was able to do it modeling at a tattoo con so fuck it woulfn't hurt and i could use the monies.
