Alright, well I mentioned a video blog in my last entry, but I've decided against it. Instead, I'll just tell the story: A few weeks back, I seen this girl on a dating site called "plentyoffish.com", and I thought she was cute so I wrote her. Now, I should add that her profile made her seem like a cool person to, if anything, get to know. Well, in the message I wrote her, I mentioned my DA page, and my artwork. Her reply was.....well, different from what I would have thought.
She wrote back "I was interested in you until I seen your artwork. That's not art, that's borderline porn. Don't write me again."
....So, yeah, that happened. I'll get back to this in a moment. Needless to say, I was irritated, so I wrote her back to tell her off, which had her write back to me saying that I couldn't draw and blah blah blah.
Now, I know my art is a little on the risque side, and I honestly have been trying to move away from sexy art for a while (which is harder than I thought), and I can see how some people can get offensive, but this girl was down right rude. The way I see it, if you don't like something or you're offended, then just move along. Not only that, but if you feel like informing someone you're offended, then don't be rude about it.
That's essentially all I got to say on the subject. Bottom line, I thought it was over-blown of her to call my art porn.
Now, on another topic, I know I have a pretty low posting percentage these days. It's not because I haven't been drawing, I just haven't been posting, but I do get my blocks like everyone. I just keep finding myself unhappy with a piece that I keep redoing it over and over.
Of course, I've also had other things going on in my lil patch of the world. I know I rarely write these journals, so I'll just get interested people up to speed on who I am:
I currently work for Wal-Mart, a job I've done off and on for a total of 9 years. For a time, I worked for Coca-Cola, but during that period, many negative things occured, including the death of my father. Not to mention the fact that the job sucked and my boss was the biggest pile of human garbage on the planet.
My time with Walmart hasn't been a picnic either, but I prefer it over Coke. Though I perfer it to Coce, it doesn't mean I don't want out. I went to and graduated ITT Tech in the Visual Communication field, and have been job searching, but not much is going on there.
So I find myself in a rut at times, and find myself bored and sitting in my room, not even so much as playing a game.
Well, I don't mean to sound so negative and stuff, seeing as I actually feel pretty good right now, but these are some of the things that go on for me. One day, hopefully, things'll get better.
Aside from that, I'll still get my art posted when I can. I have no plans to throw in the towel on anything!
