(7s) Artists Wanted Intro

Everyone has dreams, and me and the ol' lady dream of our big ol' farmhouse being fixed up nice and filling it with all types of fucked up art to surround ourselves with. I am lucky enough to have an ol' lady who thinks a lot like me, that regular art is cool art, but so is shit like dudes in North Carolina who staple gun magazine scraps into Biblical scripture stories. And ultimately, we both thrive personally, on a creative level, by surrounding ourselves with all sorts of crazy visual stimuli. It seems our lives have become cluttered by more normal material waste though, and we can feel it in our lack of creative passion lately. We are drained by our environment. For her birthday, not last year but the year before last, I bought her a painting done by my man D-Mo aka Dave Moore - (The Lowland King) - hoping to set up the pattern of us buying each other art for our birthdays. Who knew the economy would crumble and my self-employment would become more self-unemployment than anything, we'd be on food stamps, and waiting for something to magically save us from the creditor calls that go straight to the answering machine because no matter how many times you answer the phone and explain to them you haven't been working and have no money, no not even a partial payment, they will keep calling. They say they note your account, but they don't seem to note shit because the calls keep coming constantly. Anyways, let us pretend we have recovered from this Good Depression as my oldest daughter called it - "If that was the Great Depression, then this must be the Good Depression," - and we be blowing mad money on art to surround ourselves with like we're some sort of media magnates or financial elite instead of the broke ass pieces of shit we seem to be most of the time. These are the artists I'd most want to have tacked up to the wall somewhere in this house, preferably with a giant assed three-story addition coming off the back corner.
