WALK LIKE A BOHEMIAN

Wanna be an artist the AnnK way? It is easy. You just need to get a few things sorted first before you even show your artwork to a gallery. I mean, yeah. Sure. You think you can go and check up on it and rec-o-nize, but it do not mean beans if you do not have the swagger in your stager. You dig? Part of being down is actually being down and if the last few sentences look like gibberish, you need to get your shadow boned and fast. Read on…

STEP ONE: Read dumb books on weird subjects. That is right! Throw out your romance novels, your collection of Readers Digest, even get rid of the porn. Fill your shelves with second hand, musty old books on crazy subjects. What is crazy? Anything about UFO’s, Zombies, Poetry, Sci-Fi, books from small independent presses and anything that any reviewer ever wrote down in history as being “filthy”, “Disgusting” or “Pornographic”. If needed be, steal history books from your parents that look old and musty. They have oodles of jokes in them and sometimes the pictures are amusing. Only collect books that are strange or look odd so when people see them they wretch in pain. Some of the books don’t even need to be bought to be read. Sometimes, it is necessary to make your own dust jackets (Mr. Spock or a burning house on the cover is always a great dust jacket).

STEP TWO: Start a collection of strange toys that no one over 30 would get. Obscure Nintendo characters or ugly monsterlike dolls are great. Throw them into your bag when you have an important function to go with. When someone asks, tell them “It’s a great pillow” and then make googly eyes at them.

STEP THREE: To be a wild artist, you need a strange hat collection. You need hats that look like either military or hats you steal off boyfriends, but never good hats. Bonnets and caps are alright, but remember that a hat collection is left up to ones creativity and ones alone. Hats are a great way to hide the fact that you have insomnia and those days your hair isn’t working it.

STEP FOUR: There is not an eccentric alive that does not own a cat. Cats are great, cheap, and snuggly. You must make your cat your art critic and talk to her as if she knows what art is. When people come to visit, tell them to not to touch the cat since the cat is very important to your work and she does not stand for fussy fingers.
With all of these things, you might be able to pull off the right attitude. Next time, we will learn how to pull all these elements together to out wit the art industry, bamboozle men, and make the grade.

ALL ABOUT ANNK!

I am a painter, I eat, sleep, talk. I slack, I do housework. I write stories, I watch TV, use the computer.
I hail from Milton, my friends are from Milton. We live, we drink coffee, we sleep in little beds.

We are just like you only maybe not as close.

MY  HATELIST

People who smell like pea soup.


HOW TO GET AN ANNK

- I like flowers. Girls like flowers.

- I like comic books- ones with crazy stories in them. That is a sure win.

- I need spray paint... to umm... decorate. Girls are totally into that decorating crap.

- I have my eyes on Leonard Cohen's new book of poems.

- I like video games so make sure you buy lots of tokens for the arcade at the theater.
