This is what I did in outpatient rehab tonight.





Don't ask me; I don't know. Would you believe I had to EXPLAIN that shit?

explanation copied from IM:

frackinfrickin: I said that I picked things that caught my eye
frackinfrickin: and that the random and the grotesque always caught my eye
frackinfrickin: so I picked the chicken wrestler mask cuz it freaked me out and was scary
frackinfrickin: and the melancholy caveman cuz I felt like that sometimes
frackinfrickin: the rednecks in the pickup cuz it reminded me of home
frackinfrickin: the tin woodman and the jew cuz I liked the dynamic of their staredown
frackinfrickin: the snake cuz it's snakes all up in it
frackinfrickin: bert and ernie as the yin and yang--the duality of human experience
frackinfrickin: cuz ernie is wholly good and bert is unspeakably evil
frackinfrickin: marion barry cuz he's america's most famous crackhead
frackinfrickin: homegirl with the pink hair cuz her breastises all hangin' out
frackinfrickin: the fat guy getting his belly rubbed cuz who doesn't like getting his belly rubbed?
frackinfrickin: the guy with the barbecue gone all to shit cuz it all goes to shit for everyone from time to time
frackinfrickin: and the woman puking up lace because it also freaked me out, and that's art
frackinfrickin: everyone else had all this stuff relating to their drug experiences or whatever, and I'm there talking about bert and ernie

I couldn't help it! They sat us down with paste, magazines, and scissors and told us to go to it. Go to WHAT, they didn't say, so that's what I came up with.

i think it's brilliant.

(that whole "explain yourself" thing is exactly why i quit art school. "hm. don't wanna. and you can't make me." well, that and that i'm not at all creative.)

Why, thanks!

I know what you mean. Now, if we do this again, my creative process is going to be blocked because I'm going to go into it trying to give it meaning. Damn that.
