The Goth Apple Laharl Part Deux The Goth Apple Here's one I get alot. I sit down, open my sketchbook in my lap and pull out a pencil. Someone walks up, gawps what's on the page, and asks, "Did you draw that?" I mean, really. No, I just let some random hobo draw in my sketchbook. Looks like he draws alot, though, doesn't he? Yeah I know that one. I usually tend to be sarcastic in my answer to that question. How would one answer that question non-sarcastically? I mean, besides "Yes.". My reply would be something like "Oh my you're RIGHT! This drawing couldn't be mine, someone must've replaced it with their own."

xxrackellaxx GilAskan xxrackellaxx I have people asking me all the time whether or not I can breathe while wearing a corset. However, the people who ask me are all genuinely curious about why I live the way I do, and are not trying to insult me, so I always give straight answers. Compared to a lot of questions, I think this one is fairly reasonable. Corsets have had a long, dubious history. Even people who only casually know corsets have heard the health-hazards involved with wearing a corset too tight. It's often only people who wear corsets that know a properly-made corset can actually be beneficial. Yes, but the people who ask me are people whom I work with on a regular basis, and since talking requires breathing, one would think it rather obvious that I am able to breathe. I guess it's really a matter of context.
Indeed. I suspect when they ask about breathing, they mean "breathe well".
xxrackellaxx (is annoyed with Pirates of the Carribean for perpetuating the "all corsets are bad" myth...)
When I first saw it, my main reaction was "Oh, they say they've never seen a corset before and they don't know what it is. They must be doing it wrong."

I mean, really. No, I just let some random hobo draw in my sketchbook. Looks like he draws alot, though, doesn't he? Yeah I know that one. I usually tend to be sarcastic in my answer to that question. i get that one all the time. for some reason no one in my school believes in originality; most of my artwork is in anime style and for some reason i always get asked if its sailor moon. which my art looks NOTHING like i assure you.
most people think me and my friend trace. apparently there's no such thing as talent where i come from. and it pisses me off even more when people who know NOTHING about art and cant even draw a stick figure to save their life have the nerve to critisize my work.
and the one that i get the most: "will you draw me something?" now i'm just sitting here and minding my own business and i turn around and there's a group of people gawking over my shoulder, flocking you with their requests, and if its not bad enough my mother gives me the same crap when i get home. she flaunts my work because there's no other reason she should be proud of me.
its not that i am unhappy being an artist, a semi-decent one at least, but sometimes i wish i had kept that part of me a secret. it sometimes sucks to be an artist.
and to think, one day i'm gonna make a career out of people's requests. gonk
