While it's all very amusing and there is plenty of potential, it takes way to much time. I'm not going to bother.

He says he isn't offended but obviously he is. Why make such a post if not?

ha ha! he's very amusing.

Among other things, he paints fish on Ikea dressers (http://www.reincarnations.com/catalog/pf/dr/drsea1.php). Obviously I hit a nerve.

Omg... fishes on Ikea dressers?! Sheesh... I'm gonna be a snob now. So he says one can buy a degree in art but can never buy talent... but...

How would you explain this: me... 22 year old chick that failed BOTH drawing and painting in Senoir Studio II... I obviously couldn't buy a degree even though I spent money on courses towards getting a degree, not to mention all the other costs that comes with art classes...

Yet... I've painted fishes on a dresser for my friend...




wait for it...






When I was 16. It was a school of goldfishes swimming in one direction, while one purple one was swimming the other way. Influence : van Gogh's Iris painting.

So let me guess on how he sees this. Painting meaningless art is real high art, as long as you get money. Yet, creating art to convey your messages simply for the pure fact of doing so, is low art.

Sorry for the long rant... he pissed me off...

is that Purple Crow's journal?
Because if it is....*shakes head*
man, his whole existance is to give us "normal" people a reality check. If you think *you're* having a bad day trying living in *his* head.

No, it's an entirely differnt crackpot of the same genus and species. His name is Michael Vain (http://www.reincarnations.com/aboutus/index.php) (scroll down a bit for his bio and pictures).

it just seems a bit of a coincidence that there are two "reptoids" running around Vancouver...a coincidence or a nasty joke from the powers that be :/

Here's Purple Crow's

http://www.geocities.com/Reptoid_27/Intersection.html">site and for an especially interesting read this is the City of Akakor.

Yup. I couldn't even make this up if I tried.

This new one is Maryland, near Washington, DC.

Yeah. I've looked over Purple's site before. It'd been a while, though. Believe it or not, the Akakor site has gotten a lot less bizarre since I last looked at it. You should have seen it when he was full-on into John Norman's "Gor" series.

I can not believe it. My mind does not fully comprehend psychosis but I do marvel at it every now and then.

The other day I saw this (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/12/20/60minutes/rooney/main662013.shtml) on 60 minutes and your post had reminded me of it, perhaps this guy needs to realize we are not alone in thinking that his "creation" is fugly and far from "art".

I just got to rant some more, because it's me, and you know I'm a self inflicted drama queen.

Of course he's the type that will paint, make a load of crap out of it and say, oh it's for this and that. When it's for, oh look money and fame and exposure. Nothing wrong with exposure, or fame, or money, but it depends on what type it is. Gala shows and what not in communities in regards to art to me so far, in experience, is just a big political show. Do you think they really care how good and amazing your "art" is (or maybe lacking how good and amazing it is)? No they don't give a shit, because they're there to look good, like they do give a shit about all this community goodness.

I went to one of those gala things with my bestfriend at the SAG (haha) when she won a poetry contest. It was pretty hillarious the looks I got from all those people, because of course, I was the odd one out. Actually, I blended in with the Public Dreams stilt performers there and they told me to check them out and maybe join them in stilt performing. Anyways, the amount of photos they took of me was way overboard. I bet they'll use me as a publicity stunt, "Look, we accept weird, strange looking person at our Gala! We love everyone unique and differnt!"... not...

Everyone that is there is just trying to get a bit of money and some good connections. Yes connections is good. However, those were some nasty ass connections from people such as realtors saying how much they love your art and then go, "Here's my card (when you get stinky filthy rich one day and want to buy a house from me)." I loved the fact when they tried to talk to me as well because I'm my best friend's friend and when they ask me what I do in life, I simply reply "I'm in art student in college.." They try to pull off this excruciating fake smile and say something along the lines of "Ohhh that's greeeeat!" I'm thinking "Yea right..."...

Anyways. I love the way this guy, Michale Vain, flaunts his daughters around on his website. Praising them like Goddesses and how they're better than the rest of us "mundanes". I love the fact Brianna is an old soul like her father, which is what makes her so great. Quite frankly, he/they are old souls not because they're wise, but because they haven't learned their lessons in life properly yet and need to redo it again and again in my opinion.

I'm pretty sure this guy is trying to be all spiritual and new age and I'm sure if I read any more crap about him and his family and what he does, I will severely get more pissed off at him, coming from someone like me that is deeply spiritual, but I don't run down Robson street screaming "I can see dead people!"... oops let the cat out of the bag on that one...

He probably also don't have to be assaulted by the fugly ass bears (except for Darth Vader bear... I'm fond of that one... heh) everyday like I do. I see all 5 of those bears displayed at G-Ford pretty much everyday I go to the mall to work. The ones in Surrey are extra fugly, it makes me cringe to walk past them. They would be at least entertaining if I could stick a quarter in them and it will maim the next idiot that comes near it. Now that will make me very pleased.

Ok... I realise I most likely just made your head explode... but thank you for letting me rant for the day and allow me to laugh at this idiot. End.

I keep thinking of the play scene in Impropmtu:

Franz Liszt: [as God] Hurry, Noah, to the Ark, and fill it with two each of the creatures of land, sea, and air.

George Sand: [as Noëtte] Lord, we have no need for animals - art alone will save the world. Let's see, we'll need two of everything: two poets, two painters, two musicians...

Franz Liszt: [as God] Impossible, they will not come. Your conversation is not witty and you have no ideals.

George Sand: [as Noëtte] Ha ha, true, but we shall also give them free food and lodging for forty days and forty nights. Now, we shall also need two playwrights, two composers, two makers of velvet flowers...

Franz Liszt: [as God] Now you go too far.

George Sand: [as Noëtte] But it is an art, surely.
