Found your blog/work interesting. See you in L.A. MA-Focka

BOOM!!! Full scholarship, stipend and teaching ASS-shit-san-sip from USC!!! THUMBS DOWN to Columbia and their over priced, lack of funding school!!! F-NYC, LA here comes the HEATER!!!!

'A child's game, this epic battles of good and evil depicted in war and sold to the youth of our nature, is glorified and commercialized to justify violence and murder as something grander than its reality is. I have entitled my project 'Excessive Machine,' the overt use of children's' imaginations and the drive to live a heroic and proud through the bodies of the immature. The human machine is a driving force that, with enough power behind it, can change whole countries and societies. The excessive use of violence that is indoctrinated into boys at such an early age is a farce to disguise the true horrors of slaying another human being. They no longer are human once you enter the military; They are the enemy.' SO, you make a statement like this and then have the nerve to give a (-1) to video about tyrants. Really?

LOVE

Here is a bit of REALITY for y'all - I would suggest watching the 4:46 if you can, but if you are short on time, start at 2:10. I was here for this and it was very empowering. This festival was a great space for 'ideas' and the fact they would try to shut something like this down is OBSURD!!!

HAHAHAHA - you again. You really can't keep it together can you? Though, maybe some insults and a little 'keeping it real' positivity is better then listening to a bunch of whiny, sacred individuals who only place a post to either: A. Say they got in or rejected for a specific program B. Get some 'inside info' about a fucking interview so they can 'better' themselves and make up some lies to tell the professors. C. Say congrats (secretly pissed off at the same time) WOW

OK OK OK OK OK - I get it.... Stress - No Misread - No No Thanks In this Instance - Not Helpful - Only bragging. Not to assume the worse - Yes, we all get it. Glad someone told us all again. Assumptions - what kind of trouble you speak of? Interesting Posts - Sure. More like Real. Maybe I will Go back and delete - Never. Reflect before posting- Sure did. Toned it down a bit actually. Schools acceptance - Thanks. After leaving school once before I doubt even going back again. I accepted, but still. Academ-dick BS is killer. DO NOT let those fools at the higher level control your though power. Personally, Im tired of people asking why I have an incomplete MFA degree? ____ This was not a personal attack, but rather a generalization of how schools work. Nothing schools give you everything. Those that think they are PIMP SHIT, charge you everything they can. SVA is a cash dump hole. They take anyone who has a functioning brain and is willing to pay. Take it personally if you would like. You shouldnt. What you said pisses me off. Not becuase of how you set it, but the content itself. Everyone on this forum has shelled out muko bucko to apply to schools where it is nothing but a crap shoot. Does anyone here actually realize what is happening with our economy and the world we live in. They are taking our freedoms and liberties away one day at a time. What about the poison they put in all your waters? Your food? The air you breath? The security and fact that the government is recording EVERY SINGLE phone call, text message and email. How about the Smart Meter? How about everything 30 seconds your smartphone sends out a signal to show your exact location. Dont believe me? Put your phone by a music player and listen for the music to get interrupted by the signal. Control!!! This forum is about freedom and what can believed to be perceived as truth. Try saying something about gun control or any heated political topic on twid-turd or fakebook and see how long it takes for your account to be suspended or monitored. ITS ALL CONTROL. It happens at the very top, and it happens with the wanna-be professors who pick and choose who they want. Why the F are you people applying to school in the first place. Don't you all realize the art world is dead and unless your are in with the 1%, blew a blue chip gallery director or you fuck a chicken in public. 99.9999% of you, including myself, DO NOT STAND A CHANCE out there. Get a clue people. Your 'graduate degree' will not help you or make you a better artist. It only postpones the realization. Here how it is in school - 'try this, try that, do this, do that, write this, write that, experiment here, experiment their. Your just wasting your time. If you are good, then you will be good. Its not like learning a language or how to read. You dont get better as you go. Graduate School pumps you full of BS and then they say, good luck! On to the next crowd of losers with no chance. IF YOU WERE GOOD - they would know it and would probably reject you because you are a threat to them and others around. Or, they give you a shit tone of money and do what it takes to get you to the school. I like the second way better but thats me. Top 5 school? Does anyone actually know how those rankings work? Its based on the income of previous Alumni and schools they teach at. Ignore my nonsense? This is truth, my fellow patriot, and if you dot believe me, try calling or contacting some recent graduates from SVA or Ohio State and see what they are doing, at this moment? You are diluted as every other american who thinks that the american dream is about doing whatever it is you want and going to school and getting a little jobby so one can live all comfy and shit. HAHAHAHAHAHA! FUCK THAT! Get out there and make a difference, bro. You 'straight up' got in, but so did everyone other person, so now what. You going to take a chance and move to the BIG GAUNTLET, I mean BIG APPLE, and grind hard, get dirty and do some shit or you going to go to broketown OHIO, where you live all comfy and teach a bunch of UG losers who are attempting to get a BFA when they should be more concerned with a BS or something that benefits humanity, not their penis. 'your career as an artist is limitless. Make the most of any and all opportunities you are given' - HAHAHAHAHA - limitless my ass. Good luck showing anywhere besides some 'National Juried Exhibition' which costs you forty bucks. HAHAHAHA That is as cute as your little bunny in your picture. This is for real, so be wowed!!! Hello, we meet again. I see you have thrown in your two cents. That is nice. I know no one cares on this forum what I have to say, but you sure do. To make at least a quarter of your posts directed to hatred towards me. Don't worry, I am used to it. Grad Crit, Streets or Public Forum - you all are alike. I would tell you to stuff a fat one in your mouth, but I am not like that. So, BUDDY, why not trying being a little bit more creative with, not only your name choice, but how you say things about a fellow poster. I don't believe a 'Troll' would have posted over 50 times. I will admit, one could see some of those posts as negative or a bit touchy in subjects, but thats how life is. I give input when it seems necessary. Spontaneous at times, but informed. Its nice that people share what schools they applied for and if they got rejected. Haven't heard much from you? Did you even apply to school? Are you an 'Artist'? Why not share something about yourself instead of dogging on what others say? Are you sad because the 'BIG school' rejected your pa-the-dick application and human existence. Either way, I still love you and hope where ever you are today, that the sun is shining and there is a cool breeze blowing ever so gently across your backside. I wish you would smile, look up at the clouds and take a deep breath. In and Out. Rising and Dissolving. Coming and Going. Completion. Realize everything around you is in the same position as you and you are no better then the earth you stand on or the rock that is to your right. ----------- What someone does is artful. What comes out is a bi-product called ART. Schools are buying you, your personality, your talent, your mind - not some product. They want engagers, not closet dwelling poopers. Best to you all.

Umm, wouldn't you instead not like the applicants attitude, rather than the forum itself? But for real, I am sure glad you stalked this forum for probably months and decided to give us your two cents after you 'got something' so you would feel inferior to the rest of us, dick! Have a great time either A, living in dumptown Ohio and letting your 'free ride' take you nowhere or B, paying with your asshole at SVA where ultimately - even when trying to buy your way in - you will end up with a masters in serving cafe mochas. This will be fitting because most likely, anything you produce, will never make outside the walls of your place of employment. Unless, you throw it to the curb, where it will better be served as a urinal for some stray animal. <3

Well... Columbia it is. See y'all in the city real soon!!!

Where the Hunter sculpture love? Last school I'm waiting to hear from and it's the hot spot right now!!!

Agreed that the topic of burning a million quid is loaded. I still have to check that video out. I was only talking about the BS process that one goes through to apply for big name residencies just to get rejected. It's how it is, but its all a big rig. These places want to promote their status by accepting people from big name art affiliates. Realized it first hand. I applied to a university for a solo show in their gallery. They accepted my application and when I showed up to set up, the director was very surprised that I was so young and work so developed. Couldn't believe I didn't even have an MFA. Shit, i was only 22. He goes 'we normally don't accept such your artists early in their career, guess I should have read your resume.' Without knowing, he was looking for some connection to a bigger organization and all he got was me, some nobody in the grand scheme of the art world. Show was a success and at least I got some fancy food from some fancy restaurant. What a bunch of hacks!

Agreed... Fuck a BFA. Make work.

This more directly pointed at their BS PROCESS for accepting applicants. Who cares about burning a million quid.
