1) Wear really outlandish clothes. or very old, dirty berms and worn out tees, depending on what kind of artistic yu wanna be.
2) Speak in abstracts that no one will understand. Drag in word that end in 'ism', 'ive' and 'tic', or don't speak at all for the rest of your life.
3) Don't shave - EVER! Brushing teeth is optional. Baths are choices you deliberate over for months on end.
4) Choose the people you are seen with very carefully. Culture vultures are everywhere!
5) Eat unleavened bread and speak to plants and vegetables everyday.
6) Denounce militarism and any organised form of government, but always accept their awards and grants.
7) Once in a few years, whip out an old piece of work you did as a child and announce to the world that you 'need to revisit your past and touch the roots of life in order to move ahead and forge new and visionary artistic grounds'.
8) If you think one of your works is worth $2, price it with a 2 to 20 thousand percent mark-up. Really treasured works are never to be sold, just used as placemats.
9) Hum and speak to yourself in public ever so often.
10) Learn what the world looks like through the bottom of beer bottles and the haze of smoke - lot of it.
There you go, a maggie-mee guide on 'how to learn to be more artistic'. :bsmilie:
