Artist Statement TOO

Artist Statement:

Well, I was born a weirdo, so it was generally accepted that I would become an artist. 26 years later I was halfway done.
I suppose there was some stuff in between. Hey, it's your funeral...

I used to draw when I was supposed to be doing math. I sucked at math, and I didn't sniff glue, so I had to have some outlet. Later, in high school, art class was the only class I liked, along with production tech (film making, using destructive, linear, 1998 S-VHS editing). After graduating, the only art I did was a few paintings. And working minimum wage, shitty jobs sucked balls. Nevertheless, I did them for nigh on to 5 years, before heading to Langara. It beats out driving auto parts, or humpin' bags at the airport.

So I was a college boy now, and took a few classes before applying to Fine Arts. 24 months later, I was a happier, albeit still maladjusted young weirdo.
I do, though, still have something like three years left, just for undergrad, and a combined student loan/ credit card debt along the lines of $25000. But no, it's cool... I'm just... no, nevermind, it's cool.
