‘It is just the doldrums, my dear… Your artistic flair thrives; you just have to sacrifice some habitual pleasures for the sake of it.’
I would spit in his face but my good education forbids my spitting on portraits, and this ugly daub takes advantage of this fact unscrupulously! Small, funny antics can fill life with wonder…
I was daydreaming about this impudent portrait gliding down to the courtyard and didn’t hear the door creak open.
‘Good afternoon, my dear! Oh… Did you smoke in here? I told you! Don’t do it!’
Wow… He was angry. His halo became dirty-brown with yellow clots. It was really nasty. Mr.Brainwash was yelling, when suddenly I understood that this would be my last seance with him. ‘You have to sacrifice some habitual pleasures for the sake of it…’ To hell with that! I don’t want to give up my pleasures!
The first bullet was for Mr.Brainwash. The second bullet was for his talkative portrait… Sometimes a gun is just a gun!
Do you remember who said that?

Appreciate you checking out our blog, digging your own. This piece has still got the blood and guts sprayed on the wall. Real visceral shit. You’ve got the mind of an angel and the tongue of a sailor. Keep it up, great stuff.

I mean it as a serious compliment, I love your Avant-garde (French for “new and unusual or experimental ideas, especially in the arts, or the people introducing them.”) writing style, it’s interesting and different.
To sound unique is what attracts attention away from the crowd of more common-sounding creative voices. I wouldn’t enjoy editing the work of most writers, I don’t think, unless they likewise spoke their words with an Avant-garde tone 🙂

I never heard the better compliment for my writings 🙂
I would prefer to write for a couple of the readers, but really MINE, than betray my style and get a million of the inorganic readers…
