Yeah, this is pretty much what passes for blog-worthy for me.

Tibet

Posted by Centurion-Ryan Oct. 17, 2009 @ 5:08 PM EDT

So, I was looking at flags because I'm a very boring person, and I came across the Tibetan flag.

Now, it looks pretty nice, I must say.

Except for the fucking flaming dildos

This site.

Some of the quotes can be pretty funny at times. Others are downright baffling.

Commentaries: What is an artist?

Posted by Centurion-Ryan Sep. 26, 2009 @ 6:33 PM EDT

I'm not a great musician. You probably didn't need me to admit that. All you needed to do was take a look at the scores of some of my Audio. It's not great. It's passable, and it's obvious that I tried, but it's not something you would put on a CD unless it was one of those compilations of unknown Metal bands that haven't been around since forever.

An artist, I think, is someone who spends hour after hour creating their work, and even more time perfecting it. Ironing out the creases, and whatnot. Sometimes, this involves scrapping what they've got and starting from scratch! An unthinkable way of doing things, for some people. An artist is someone who tries to achieve their vision as closely as possible, and not giving up until they've perfected it, or they've got the next best thing.

I wouldn't really consider myself an artist. Just a musician with a microphone. There are people out there far more deserving of the term.

Take this young lady, for example.

I've been looking through her art, and I really like it. It's got a degree of professionalism you wouldn't expect to find as a piece of original work on a Website. She spends hours on these, and it really shows. Yet, it's kind of difficult to accept.

Decades ago, before the internet, or magazines, or anything like that, if you had bucketloads of talent, but no ways of getting your work out there, you were doomed to obscurity. The best musicians, painters, poets, writers etc. are probably out there, somewhere. Just writing stuff on their school notepads that makes Oscar Wilde look like squirrelking. Drawing things that make Leonardo da Vinci look like a newspaper cartoonist. You get the idea. But they're never going to be noticed. If they're lucky, they'll get a fanbase of about 10 people on DeviantArt or Fictionpress, but nothing more.

But as the internet continues to grow as a medium, eventually, we're gonna see stuff that looks professional. Hell, that is professional. And perhaps those great artists who live out there in some remote part of the world, those same artists who dwarf the likes of Yeats and Picasso, can finally have a chance to show their work.

But still, it won't 'seem' as professional as something being displayed in a museum, regardless of quality. Maybe it's just me, but I'm worried about that.

Lambs, I guess

I don't know. This is fucking weird.

Ronan, this is the last time I allow you to give me a suggestion for a blog post.

Album Cover

Posted by Centurion-Ryan Mar. 25, 2009 @ 2:40 PM EDT

An album cover that I threw together.

I plan on re-recording all the songs I have up on NG, as well as a few others.
