Wonderful if you mean it. As I told Ranger, show me what you see, sketch it out for me, don't tell me how you feel anymore, it's presumptuous, and worst of all , boring. I went to an art exhibit at UCLA last weekend and 90% of the students were horrible hacks because they believed it wasn't necessary to have the fundamental skills to draw something recognizable. I see the same arrogance here at poemranker. If you take a look at PAKI's work as you say you will you'll find the simple ability to make things understood. Also Ornella-in-disguise, hair slicked back wearing an eyebrow-pencil-mustache, finally gets the fucking point a couple of times. Stop trying to run when you can't even let go of the coffee-table without wobbling and falling over. DESCRIBE a THING forget about feeling. They are to intence and you can only start at the very beginning. Tell me what you look like. That is your first exercise. Look in the mirror, look around the room.
