As far back as I can remember, I have been afraid of snakes. For those of you who don't know me, I have a really good memory and can remember shit from, like the beginning. Snakes make the top of my head tingle, not sure why I hate them but I just do. This is the same ingredient that is in good art. Not pretty art, but art that makes you scared to live life. I guess writing can also do this. Read some philosophical and stuff and learn that life is really just meaningless. It's A constant hunt to define life and find the best pussy, not settling for anything less. But you always do end up settling in the end anyway. We all have earwax.

My name Bjorky and I am an artist. I think art is great especially when it is done by someone who is good at it. It can make you cry or laugh and the other human emotions. Music is art and also makes you feel things. I like to feel weird sometimes, actually most of the time. The weird feeling you get when you see earwax in a stranger's ear. And you want to tell them but you can't because that would be rude and not so cool. But seriously you should check that before you leave the house.

Art is like sex; it's instinct you know? Some good art is made about sex. I try not to make art about sex because I think about it a lot and I have a few Christian friends I don't want to offend. I like documentary films, they try capturing real life. Sci-fi movies are lame. In fact Every time I watch Star Wars I fall asleep. This problem dates back to my childhood. I think our universe is the best alien planet; The sun trips me out. The moon and trees. Mountains. Animals are the worst; they are like humans but stupid, hairy and crap everywhere. Why waste your time looking at some fabricated waste of time film? $15 for a movie ticket.

As a child, I would ask my mother “what if questions”. “What if the first person to drink from a cow’s nipple never did, and thought cows were gross? How would we eat our Cheerios cereal?” As grown-ups we instead develop sophomoric answers for these fundamental questions about existence. Humans are interesting creatures. We can make machines to fly to mars but cannot agree on where how we got on earth.
I think it's just great that graffiti is a felony in the U.S.A. I'm not going to elaborate but we have been writing on walls since we were stupid, hairy and crapped everywhere. Got to keep that utopian vision in sight. Utopia is just a form of escapism. Chris Johanson makes paintings about utopia and how fucked up America's vision is of it. They are powerful and make my head tingle. He also has a long beard, a very hairy man. He is not a great technical painter; I think I could be as good as him some day. He is a member of The Beautiful Losers, an art collective consisting of all my favorite artists. I like them all because they are not that talented but very smart and make money doing art.

I am mostly concerned with money because women are attracted to money. Overall, I am uninteresting and boring to be around. Women need to be entertained and I am just not good at that. I hope I can find a woman that is intellectual enough to see past my bad drawings and we can make sex art together.
