School is out, Summer is in. Might be getting a job. Oh Lord, but I do hate money. The Root of All Evil. The furniture in our dining room has been moving around. Wouldn't have this issue if I had some freaking space in my bedroom. Not that it's really my room, it's more my brother's. I just happen to sleep there. But that's neither here nor there.
Sorry for my lack of activity on here, but I honestly don't care about submitting anything to this website anymore. I honestly feel that if I have something that I am really proud of and want to display as an actual art piece, then putting it on this craptastic website is superfluous. Seriously, what's the stuff that gets the most looks on this site? Fan art, generic manga chibis, and other deliciously unoriginal junk. There are so many things wrong with DeviantART, I'm not even going to post them in a journal. No, I'd rather display my artwork the same way real artists do.
My artistic "style" is "improving," I guess you could say. But I don't believe I can improve my artwork, I simply believe I can make it take shape. I don't really submit anything I do on here. I mean, how often do I show you guys my tailored stuff or my sculptures? I'm sure you'd love to see them, but I don't care to put them on here, as I've stated plainly already.
Most of the people here either have such a modern attitude, it sickens me or they're unoriginal (or worse, art thieves,)or they treat this place like a Myspace/Flickr site where they dump worthless and redundant photography. Wooh, I took a picture of a pretty sunset with my digital camera. Woop-de-freaking do. Did you make the sunset? What did you do with the focus, contrast, and lighting? I'm sorry friends, but this falls under the category of "What is art?"
It's like those meaningless talentless goth/emo (yes I DID just put those in the same category) that honestly think they're poets or writers because they wrote a bunch of lines about how bad it sucks to be them, about blood, and about how freaking pretty their knife is. Is it me, or did the goth culture completely turn on itself by being so non-conformist that they formed a mold? Teenage kid with a piss-poor attitude who thinks he's fancy because he shops at Hot Topic and has ghastly piercings.
It's as though the only true way to be a rebel is to stay in school, get a job, be a republican, and do what old people tell you to do. I hate this time period, where people worship uncreative and unoriginal ideas like Twilight or Eragon, where graffiti is treated like genuine artwork, where a man can be elected President simply because of his race, and worst of all, where people think they're something special because of the color of their phone.
Am I leaving this site? Absolutely not, don't be ridiculous. There are some earnestly talented artists here, even if they're scarce and see very little attention. These are people who merely face the misfortune of not being able to put their artwork some place besides this prepackaged web site. These are people that actually work on their artwork and make it exactly that, artWORK. Where "Steampunk Modding" is building great things out of brass, copper, and steel riveted together instead of plastic bottle caps glued to a Nerf Maverick and spray painted copper.
You know what? In a sense, I am leaving this site because I'm never going to post any "artwork" on here ever again. I'm using this site only to applaud those who really know what art is and how to make it. To Hell with this bastardized place, the art culture of Planet Earth has gone in a cloud of smoke. If you've read this journal this far, which I know you haven't, don't leave a comment in agreement. Jesus people, I've had enough with agreement. Somebody stop kissing my ass and tell me I'm wrong if you disagree. But come with your guns loaded. I want proof. I want evidence. No, I'm not sorry for a "rant." I don't care.
