Comment on Confessions of A Hyperactive Mind by john

I believe I have a hyperactive mind. I have a friend who I also believe has a hyperactive mind. We both know we have hyperactive minds and we use them voraciously together. We get into deep discussions on deep philosophical questions, the unanswerable questions like “Why is there something rather than nothing?” and “Why are things the way they are?”. We try to answer things that are impossible to answer, and the scary part is this; we answer them and then keep going deeper into thought, I get ideas and thought of infinity a lot, which seems to be the most you can think about as a human. I feel like I push my mind to its limits sometimes. I dont know how I do it, if its something a lot of people can. Is it something everyone can do but just a lot of people dont? It scares me sometimes, i dont know if im crazy or brilliant.

Comment on Abstract Paintings : The Reality of Abstract Art Philosophy by the power

“The realist’s work screams, “Look at me! Look at my wonderful draftsman-like skills. See how well I can copy a photograph?” ”

Some artists exclusively copy from photograph, but they become a slave to it, and most good ones don’t copy from photographs like a slave. There is a lot to copying photographs in representational art- it’s about learning composition, science of perspective and lighting. And it is about telling a story, creating worlds, creating a mood, which is the true purpose of representational art.

Photographs are just references, don’t be a slave to it. It is a tool for beginner students.Remember, Da Vinci didn’t have any photographs..Da Vinci studied perspective and the science of light with a passion.

It is a common misconception, and a common reason why people think that representation gets boring..well if all I do is copying photographs, it really becomes brainless and boring too!

Comment on Art Sucks, It Really Does by marcia lardizabal

Art is big business. Anyone can slop paint on a support, but when a vested interest thinks it can make money off of you, whether you have talent and vision or not — money trumps. A successful artist has a successful promoter, who will take a large percentage of your financial gain. Only you can decide if it is worth it or not.

Good luck,

As many others that have come to this site in search of answers, i have too come here in search of an explanation to what can only be described as self inflicted torture at this point. I also feel some semblance to the crazy words that you have written here and some relation to the comedy that you have written, not to mention your writing style in particular. (it is worth noting that getting this far into the paragraph i have lost track of my thoughts many times over) i see in you writing style the way that you do not represent your point but tend to wander. (like myslelf) i have lost countless jobs due to my inane inability to focus into tasks that to me seem irrelevant/pointless/arbitrary and it is getting to a point in my life were i just feel that i am purely existing and that is all. Once again i have spent the night laying awake, sleepless – my mind buzzing with stupid and irrelevant thoughts – congesting my mind to the point where i cannot full asleep, all i do is grind my teeth to the sounds of the clock ticking. My eyes are wide and i cant stop blinking to the point where my eyelids feel like they are bruising. When my daughter was born i seeked to put an end to this mindset as to commit myself to a job and become a “regular” person (as much as it pains me to do so) i was referred to a local mental health specialist and it was not long before i was diagnosed with ADHD and was thrown a prescription for Dexiamphetamines. The medication at first felt like it was working, there was certainly a change – however it was months later that i came to the conclusion that my mindset was still far from ordinary. The medication only focused my attention, my mind was still buzzing, only to a more specific output. It did not fix my problem and i ceased to take my medication. I have a friend who has Aspurgers Syndrome, which if you are unaware of, is on the spectrum of autism. Me and my friend spoke about his autism often, as i was interested to know everything about it (i love learning) To both of our surprise we shared a lot of common traits typical to the disorder, with few important differences, where he did not understand or convey things like emotion, sarcasm and all those little things – i did. So im not sure what i have, im damn sure that its not ADHD. I really do not know what to do with myself, i lack elemental things such as drive, ambition, confidence, coordination, focus, concentration…unfortunately without these things i am left rather…f##ked to put it as simply as possible. Sometimes i feel that i should just lay down and just wait for my body and mind to shut down and finally achieve some silence, i feel that is something i could be quite talented at.

I really loved this…I’m a TG Girl too…I’ve been told by the doctors I need to wait until I’m 18. It’s like no one realizes how serious it is and how serious I am about the fact that I am a girl. I still hate my dad because he still treats me like a boy even though I’m out.
