OKAY, SO!
Its been a while since I've done anything, and I mean ANYTHING at all. And I Sincerely apologize... Not that anyone is even keeping up with this or following this at all..
Some pretty heavy shit fell onto me lately. It's leaving me vulnerable, hollow and scared. Found out some things I shouldn't have. The pen to the Wacom Tablet decided to go AWOL, so I'll be saving up some money to buy a new tablet soon. Ive been diving back into music lately which if that ever goes anywhere you will also find that here as well by the way! Ive been behind on bills (FUN), trying to get a friend a job at where I work, because he's been a badass and has helped me out SO MUCH lately its the least I can do. (Thanks Patty-Cake). Yada Yada.. A whole lot of stuff.. so yeah.
Anyway, we don't want to hear about my petty life right now. What we want to hear about is this exciting new project I have in the making!!!!! YAYYYY!!!1!
Okay, so we all know everyone is a slacker at times. Especially at there jobs.. I mean come on, we do the same thing over and over! Of course were gonna act out occasionally. So thats been me the past two days, and with actions such as acting out and doing stupid things I clearly would have gotten written up for if a manager saw me doing them. I productively brewed up an exciting idea that I will take further steps into making it an actual Project/Series/Reality that could be therapeutical for some maybe.
"WUT?" you say?
Oh i'll feed you baby birds..
"Fear" "The Blind"
THIS IS WHAT I DO WITH MY LIFE, PEOPLE.
Now at first it started out just as fun. And then after I started to think about what I'm going through and what others are going through it clicked.. WE ALL HIDE BEHIND SOMETHING.
Now be it a smile, a laugh, a depressing facade, its something.. We all put on a mask to hide from our problems or the things were going through to help us get through those problem, convincing ourselves we're different.
Now, when I really started to think about it, this got exciting. Ive already talked to a few people about this and they all want to become involved, so I have support which is even more exciting!
The goal of this project/series is for someone to feel comfortable admitting what they hide behind or what they want to hide behind. Im asking people to give me an emotion, a description, or even a word and I'll illustrate it on a random cardboard box or brown paper sack. Why a cardboard box or sack you ask? Well why not? We're human. We're not perfect, and neither are the masks we attempt to conceal ourselves behind. That's the point in the box. Nothing is perfect, you accepting who you are and seeing the imperfections in yourself perfectly, now there ya go.
The next important part of this is I want that person to wear their own suggestion after I've finished it if they feel comfortable or want to. I want them to be involved, and thats exciting for me because all I've ever done is draw a picture. Write a story about it, and throw it up on instagram or some shit. But I'm not alone on this one, I don't want to be. I feel like this will really help people get out who they are and we can all appreciate the aspect of what it is we're doing here.
If anyone is opposed to any of this, well then you have your reasons and you can keep those to yourself. Ive talked to an emotionally scarred person who loved my idea and claimed it was inspiring to them and they absolutely don't care if anyone else is involved, they want to be part of it. And if that means something to someone then thats enough for me to want to attempt to pull something like this off.
If you'd like to take part PLEASE email me at taylornicewaner@yahoo.com
I WILL be needing a photographer to take pictures of each person. Everyone will have a headshot from the torso up and added into the wonderful world of this website, with their option of leaving a short description under their photo.
I hope to hear from people soon!
Welcome to the "Mask-or-Aid'!
