Protagonisto: this is my pregnant baby

this is my pregnant baby

I'm quite pround of my first wax sculpture. It is not necessarily the most, but it is sincere and I feel something each time I look at it. It's special. I've even shown it to a few people I trust and have received nice feedback . . . in other words, they were almost shocked to see the result of my first sculpture. How dare they doubt me?

My housemate and I hosted a party recently and he wanted to show off the sculpture. The insecure coke head artist's lawyer turned up his nose at it. The retail queens didn't understand why it was so sticky. I bet they assumed I used it for some sexual purpose.

I start my new wax sculpture next week. This fertility princess I hope to cast in April.

Here's another view:

PROTAGONISTO

is not a word in any language. It's one that this artist created by using the word 'protagonist' and adding the letter 'o', which is the closest language tool we have to the circle. For me the cyclical nature of life, of transformation and reinvention, is what I'm most interested in exploring.

This blog is about art. Not just visual art but the art of life. It took me a long time to get to contentment (35 years!). Visual art and the old threads of my experiences in literature and theater--protagonistas everywhere!--have woven (or perhaps unwoven) me into the man I was intended to become. This blog documents my development as an artist and I hope inspires one to take action to fulfill his or her own intention. It's a blog about the process of becoming someone who desires only to wear art and literature meat.
