Art + Chick Flicks



Two things I realized tonight:
1. I love chick flicks. (this is not a new 'awe ha' moment.) What I love about these movies is that I can escape to a world that it is entirely possible to fall in love with someone in a matter of 3 days. What a magical thing that must be. Completely not likely but gah, so great.
2. I am 1 in a million artist. Not in the 'I'm a 1 in a million special' kind of way. I mean I am seriously 1 of the MILLIONS of artist out there. That my friend, is terrifying. I realized this while I was uploaded some of my work to Society6. As I look at the 1000s of art on this site, I'm wondering how in the world do I become an Andy, Cindy, or Sally? (None art buffs, these people are amazing, and famous. Andy Warhol, Cindy Sherman, Sally Mann) I never want to be famous in the Andy way...but I would like to be known ya know? It's a scary world this Art Land that I've chosen to be in. I could have a been a fabulous weather woman {I took a Weather and Climate class a couple semesters ago and I really loved it...} but I chose to be an artist. I get the whole 'starving artist' thing now. Who can keep up with all the creators in the world...I can't even do it.

To sum up, chick flicks are a great way to distract myself from the world that I'm in. And sometimes I need a false reality to enter. So today I'm breaking. And it is fabulous. Cheers!
