Unhinged
Meet Sheena, she’s kind of a nut job.
Sheena is an alter-ego I jokingly gave myself on a night that I felt I was dressed extra “punk”
I’m using her to help paint a picture here.
I took this to try and depict a certain feeling I’ve had in the recent past.
A feeling that my personality was splitting between a normal Shelby and a deranged embarrassing idiot.
I have had a lot going on lately. It’s all been quite personal so I won’t go into details but I feel like this picture is a little late.
And I only say that because the past week or so has been entirely different.
I’m now realizing I very rarely explain a photo for you guys.
I very rarely do that for anyone.
That is only based on my own insecurities.
Ps. Id like to take this opportunity to say one thing. In all honesty it is in fact directed at one particular person, but if you feel you have done this to a fellow artist in your past then go ahead and take the advice anyways.
Do not judge what you don’t understand.
When I said I wasn’t to proud of a photo that should not have been your opportunity to cut me down.
I have insecurities, I am human.
And not only that my work is completely different from your portraits.
I am baring my soul in my work. It is PURELY my emotion and my feelings.
And being an artist yourself you should understand that a human is a sensitive thing.
And overcoming such sensitive circumstances and putting it in words, music, or photos is an incredible thing.
You have over stepped your boundaries one to many times and this subtlety you think you have is amusing but not quite amusing enough for me to continuously ignore it.
After the MANY stabs you have made at me I have good reason to hate you, and I honestly do. But never once have I stooped to the level of insulting you or your art.
Because im simply not that low. Even after the indecency of your unnecessary comments I still understand that it is not my place to judge you or your work. And in all honesty I still find your work to be quite good. But your shitty attitude towards a world filled with artists will only hurt you in the long run.
My work, my imagination, my life, MY RULES.
Im an artist, and a person. Im aloud to have doubts in myself, it’s a naturally human thing to do.
Hop down off your horse, you’re an amateur like the rest of us.
You’re a person like the rest of us.
& just because you have no modesty doesn’t mean everyone in the world should act the same.
Okay! Now that that is over with.
How is everyone.
And another thing.
There is a really cool website everyone should check out. It’s a site that allows you to put together photo books, and portfolios and sell them online its really neat.
Ive been thinking a lot about how we should put together a group and invite some amazing artists and put books together like once a month and sell them for charity.
It seems like an awesome idea. Just need some friends and fire power!
