Description I know you've been there. I know you liked it. I know you never got out,and never did anything at all to get out or try to think about the damage it causes. I think the concept is pretty clear.

And because I know most of you just DON'T care enough to stand against it,or don't have the guts to do so,or you simply enjoy it too much,may please everyone who feels indifferent to the problem,say it here,now,loudly and proudly: "I don't care what society is turning me and all of us into!I don't care what society makes me believe! I don't care!"

But I do.

Well I think people don't mind and don't care as long as they feel like it all keeps going in a direction that fits them. I never really cared about the world outside my own little bubble, until I realized how hard it was to actually go your own way, once you try, in this world.

It was like.. when I was myself I was just the worst loser and freak.
When I tried to become more social, happy and outgoing I was a slut.
When I retreated from that, I was a weirdo.
Through all this I was concidered "too different".

Then when I moved away, and started my college education, I was still not "right" for them even though I was really sure I would finally fit in, due to my choice of education and class.. but once again..
When I tried to make friends in my former ways, I was too bimbo.
When I tried to be like them I was just too ordinary.
When I tried to just blend in I was no one.
I was suddenly just "too normal".

Nowadays I don't really know and don't really care how people see me, and I'm glad that in the end I finally realized fitting in isn't the most important thing.. I only wish I would've realized it earlier. But I think it's really sad how important this is to most people. =/

I agree 200 percent. I'm sick and tired of how society wants us to believe all sorts of crud that was never true. For example, there are girls who go to my school who are very pretty and slender, and they say they're fat and ugly, and to tell you the truth, it makes me feel really bad because I'm at least 3 times their size and I'm not very pretty (not that I mind it, I really am okay with the way that I look, it's just that these losers just can't seem to grasp that not being very pretty doesn't make you less valuable as a person.) And that's just one example. But at the same time, society's stupidity is quite amusing when you look at it the right way, in my opinion. I also think that this painting is awesome. I love a lot of your paintings, and I love the way you draw and paint hands. I couldn't do that if my life depended on it. I really like how they have so much detail in them.

My parents grew up in a communist country, the propaganda was everywhere all their childhood - TV, surronding, their parents spoke about how great this ideology is to their heads. Did that convince them? NO
People might be silly but who has some brain in a head won't admit opinions and things without thinking about it first.

I'm sure of it! Even though I'm not usually optimist about people.. (and I have a lot of pessimist works in my gallery as well.. )

Btw you have an interesting style of painting.
Good luck!

Yeah,I get that... but if you think you're a pessimist, that's probably because you haven't got to know me... I mean,I'm not a pessmist,I'm way beyond it And I see no harm in pouring out your bad feelings in art. I'm glad you like my style. Thank you!

I didn't say you're a pessimist, I mean the piece is pessimist, depressive, saying something un-pleasant, and it certainly is, isn't it? I don't think I'm a pessimist neither.

Soulstripper In reply to Ewanecka [2007-11-14 10:16:25 +0000 UTC]

Of course... I agree,once again. And just for the record - I didn't say I'm not a pessimist. I AM a pessimist,maybe the greatest one there ever was. I can tell you're not a pessimist,there's something definitely optimistic in your speech. As for me,I'm the kind of person who cries with joy and laughs with despair...

Ewanecka In reply to Soulstripper [2007-11-14 12:27:49 +0000 UTC]

eh, okay
maybe there's something optimistic in my speech, but that doesn't mean I'm an optimist, I just try to offer the optimistic view when it's possible, because I know how much I need it myself sometimes. I'm definitely not an optimist, but I wouldn't say I'm a pesimist neither. I think I'm a bit anomalous realist
Would an optimist do this? [link]

Soulstripper In reply to Ewanecka [2007-11-15 10:15:16 +0000 UTC]

It's a good thing to be able to do - to be a realist and still sound optimistic. I could never be a realist, my heart would break again if I were. That means you're so very strong.
I liked the second one the most. It has a very confessional nature,it seems to me.
Thinking of the sign inserted in it,I was reminded of the quote "Each thing I show you is a piece of my death."...

Wow. That was an EXTREMELY valuable comment.I'm glad you really think so. I have been trying to conduct a few ideas one way or another through my art on this site,not for the site itself,but for the people. Of course, I am aware that hardly anyone cares about the fact that this world is going to hell anymore,but I guess there are still some minds that bother. And I do all I do for them. I'm so glad you appreciate my effort so much. I'll try not to disappoint you with my next art...

I don't normally post comments anywhere on this site but since you asked so nicely, and I think that your picture is cool as hell, I'll say it.

I don't care what society is doing to me or to the rest of humanity, I resist in small ways at times, however most of the time I find it much more amusing to sit back and watch humanity stroll along the path of self-destruction.

Soulstripper In reply to valen1 [2007-02-08 19:21:55 +0000 UTC]

Thank you,knowing you don't comment just like that,I really appreciate that you did comment on my picture. I'm happy it appealed to you.

Ah,at last someone said "I don't care". But it was not a shallow "I don't care". Well,I must admit that watching humanity destroying itself can be,to an extent,amusing,as long as you keep your thoughts on a certain level. I've been through that. However,most times good dominates in me and I get to thinking that no matter how much I despise that world,it doesn't need destruction. In my opinion,it needs a great deal of resistance,a little bit of shock,a little bit of awareness,and a little bit of punishment,after which,eventually,regret.

And of course,after that - no matter how unfair it sounds - salvation.

Soulstripper In reply to VOLIVOD [2007-02-09 11:05:25 +0000 UTC]

Yeah,to me he is an escape from some things,and return to other things... Really complicated. I love that too. I hate it,though,when people tell me that I get my inspiration from Manson's music. Everything I've ever thought and felt that I feel and think now too was there in my mind and heart all along. It's just his music that stimulates and strengthens these things in me. And I need that,because I consider my ideas the most (and maybe the only) beautiful part of my own self. So I like to take care of that.

Btw,I'm almost certain you've seen that already,but I'll give a link to it just in case... Here you can download a few of his live performances,and what I'd recommend you to download,if you don't have it yet,is a video for "Food Pyramid" - that song ALWAYS puts me in the right mood. I only found it yesterday,but I feel like a million bucks right now . Very ironic.
