im a graphic design major, my canvas is usually a computer screen. i explore bold lines and bright colors, though i dabble in other mediums, i generally stick to software and painting. in painting, theres no edit/cut/copy/paste, and on a computer, you cant put your hands in paint and feel the texture of a canvas. i need to work on marrying the mediums.
i was recently asked if i was an artist, and for the sake of brevity, i said yes. i used to answer no, im not an artist, i just make things. its a loaded question with a loaded answer, the label 'artist' implied i was good at something, which im certainly not. but im beginning to think an artist is just someone who thinks differently, and then chooses to act or express, and if thats the case, then there are many people who could be artists, but just havent met themselves yet. as silly as my subjects are, im still passionate about them, and ill keep painting as long as inspiration keeps happening. heres some jokes:
how many artists does it take to change a light bulb?
ten. one to change it, and nine to reassure him about how good it looks.

two. one to hold the giraffe and the other to fill the bathtub with brightly colored machine tools.
