Min’s Audio

This reminds me of a restaurant. At first you see the front of this super classy place. It has a line of people waiting to get in; the fancy music is playing as you enter. You’re seated and everything is beautiful. As you move towards the back, things become more hectic. There is louder banging and clanging - the kitchen is in a rush. The music becomes quieter as everything is being made. Almost reminds me of a person - inside, everything is going on at once and things are trying to get done, but the outside is put together, beautiful..

How to be an artist

Step 1) Decide to be an artist (extra points if it disappoints your parents).

Step 2) Spend a lot of money that you could be using to sustain yourself in the future into art supplies and classes.

Step 3) Pretend you know everything in class where in reality you don’t know the difference between secondary and tertiary colors.

Step 4) Always make art that ‘challenges the norm’. You can’t really call yourself an artist if you haven’t angered anyone with ‘controversy’.

Step 5) Forget everything you’ve learned in those 4 years of art school and claim that everything you do is an artistic statement or you are going for a minimalist design.

Step 6) Be prepared to drink nothing but coffee, smoke everywhere, and dye your hair to stand out among your peers.

Step 7) Always speak condescending to your friends. Remind them that you’re so deep and misunderstood.

Step 8) Never accept meaningful criticism from your professors or fellow artists. They’re just jealous that they can’t paint a pretty elephant like you can. Who cares if it’s ‘anatomy is off’ or ‘scale is out of proportion’.

Step 9) Making art getting tiring? Become a photographer. Instant art-making machine.

Essay: Wrinkles

We don’t really think of how we get them,

they just sort of appear.

We don’t really notice when they show up,

but they do anyway.

It’s funny isn’t it?

Something so specific just showing up on your face,

on your neck, on your arms and legs.

Fine but deep they are.

But what are they?

I think they are your memories,

your experiences, your thoughts.

The longer your mind thinks,

the more you get.

Your wrinkles are your proof;

proof that you have lived,

even if it wasn’t what you wanted.
