Something caught my attention to actually right a little about the legend himself, slenderman. Myth goes that the more interest, attention or research you do on slenderman the closer he gets. Or if any electronics starts to malfunction means, he is near. I don't like that at all. I've seen the episodes of slenderman on youtube like last year, and I'm still frightened about it. But hey, if i discus it like with more people than me alone, than we're all in the same dip. and like how many people are talking about this subject on this moment anyway? Or slenderman can extend his arms like that far to reach multiple victims? Well I know he can have that man arms he wants to have, but to reach out that far? Don't make me laugh lol!

But I think he's a cool character, it's just that I think it's a pity he doesn't really has a face. I always get the urge to draw one on him whenever I see pictures of him on the Internet. It's just the suit that frightens me. It's so neat, dark. It's almost like this funeral keeper vibe he's wearing. It think it's the great combo to cast this ultimate scary vibe. the most neat suit or wearable you can think of, and attach a creepy, or awkward face on it. Hello... is it that simple? I wonder how the maker of this myth get to think of the design of slenderman, it beats me to figure out how. It's still that the Internet is holding this fuz about slenderman being real, which in the beginning gave me this actual vibe that he did exist, but after awhile you'll see it's not. But still the pictures of reminding slenderman still haunts me in some kind of way. Is it really slenderman's work of doing so?

"Slender Man (a.k.a Slenderman) is a mythical creature often depicted as a tall, thin figure wearing a black suit and a blank face. According to the legend, he can stretch or shorten his arms at will and has tentacle-like appendages protruding from his back. Depending on the interpretations of the myth, the creature can cause memory loss, insomnia, paranoia, coughing fits (nicknamed “slendersickness”), photograph/video distortions and can teleport at will. The urban legend has inspired fan arts, fictional creepypastas and a mockumentary series in the style of the 1999 indie horror film Blair Witch Project."

I had a day where i got inspired to wear a neat suit to the academy. and I totally think it was slenderman inspired. Instead of wearing a suit it was a blazer, instead of black it was navy blue. Hey! We all get inspired in our own way! To be honest it was more a sound or arrow x slenderman type of outfit I wore - I had a belt over my blazer to accentuate my waste, because I think it was hot - I was surprised that not everyone in the class get the look I was going for, which means that I'm a step ahead to originality with some slender flavor ! :)

How often do you think about the future? Well I do it all the time, but trust me I'm negative about it most of the time. You can compare me with a meerkat, I'm always start a phrase with "what if". and I do it all the time, that after a while, I'm getting pretty much paranoid about it. Which comes in mind, Paranormal stuff. I like it so much. 6th sense? Totally believe in it. I sometimes think of it to have a 6th sense myself. It often occur while I'm busy in my sketchbook, making art about what's going to happen. Believe it or not 1 out of 6 times it does happen! It's just to bad my so proclaimed 6th can't warn me on times where I'm about to spend buck-loads of money - the inspiration to do so -.

But back to where I wanted to talk about in the first place, the future. I'm an art student, and I'm suffering from anorexic wallet and I just bought an expensive designer coat. What will happen to me? Well I'm predicting, that I'll soon quit the academy, for financial reasons and I believe it's not what I wanted to do after all. I feel unhappy with the assignments and the things we learn. But yet I feel so happy with I attended and got in the academy. My class is amazing, the academy is amazing! They accept any kind of sub culture. Whether you like to wear your PJ's or walk in socks in academy, or want to dress up. People don't care! Well maybe the fresh-mens do, but everyday we get told that it's fine to do what you want to do, the crazier the better, "break the chain of the regular citizen". It's everyone's goal in the academy to fin their unique position in the world of art, and to do so, you've got to start with clearing your mind and let kill you darlings.







To be able to feel free in what ever you like to do in the academy, our environment stimulate us by bombarding us with crazy modern art we've never heard of, or tell things to mindfuck us - they like to do that allot! - Well the 1st period is already done, I'm in my 2nd period of the freshmen year, and I must tell you, I've learned alot! I even get to be that fond of modern art, which made me purchase the MMM Duvet Coat and actually wear it outside! - For which I'm still collecting courage for to do so - I must say, their words are so convincing, they got me hooked up deeply in the lifestyle of a modern artist. Have I found my unique spot in the world? Yes and No. I know that being to much of a unique person is hard to get people convinced, while having a little uniqueness gets much better in getting noticed. Our school doesn't accept copy paste at all! Only in certain cases like, citate any kind of video's or photo's and make a collage out of it or something. It's been told to me a graduate student of the academy even won an award by art-citate, which isn't original, but the metaphor and symbols used of existing products, all combined, apparently made a big impression on the judge. So in a way it's still appropriate.







But hey, the future. I'm going to keep it short, I talked to much of my academy already. So my "6th sense" says, I won't finish the art-academy, in fact I'll end somewhere in December. I'm going to start a company with my best friend and collaborate together - illustrations on t-shirts etc. - I'll be called CEO / Creative Director soon. Will it be successful? Well if one believes in it, it shall be. Will it be big? To be successful you don't have to end up big. I believe in the fact that it's a thought or a dream we both believe in now, so we've already succeed our barrier from regular art students to upcoming free bitches in business!

Cheers :)

Ps: I might post something about slenderman the next post! something go me interested.
