I cant remember how exactly I stumbled upon this site, it's seriously a mystery to me. I was stoned out of my head and at the end of a nights attempts to get something down, its always in the dead hours that I work best.
I really couldnt believe what I had miandered into. I live in a city and country where everything I do is criticised, is taboo.
My beliefs and ideals dont fit into the norm, and as such Im quite literally beaten down for them.
University for me is more like taking a trade, they dont offer arts here. You cant simply learn for the sake of knowledge, no matter how hungry for it you are. You have to follow a set route and work for the job at the end of it. University here is filled with Military apprentices dong Engineering and higher society rich kids practicing Medecine in their cliques.
In all seriousness the world felt like it was devoid of anything but commercial bullshit and paths to mediocrity.
Then I read your art McCutcheon, as well as the other submissions, I read the posts, and found these people that held the same things to be paramount.
People like Jason are the exact reason why the this site and what it embodies is so important. For every dozen or so of them there will be someone like me who finds something that literally changes the way they percieve the world around them. Dont let ignorance taint that. Its too important.
