Title: Meat on the Tabe Tonight
Sketcher: Me, Fallexe
Date: 150829
Materials: Graphite, Paper, Coffee (stimulant)
INSPIRATION
The pictures of the pigs cutting themselves that were going around the Internet recently. Credit must also go to Basquiat of course.
PROCESS
1. I began by shading the top left corner of the paper, seeking inspiration.
2. The shading looked like a blood stain, reminding me of the pig pictures. I immediately began writing the words DEAD MEAT on the right hand side of the page.
3. Added the spirits of the dead animals to the top of the page. I began to feel very intense as the coffee was taking effect.
4. A major theme if the pig pictures was the advertisement of death as a product. I added advertisements to the drawing, such as SIZZLE BACON DEATH and a sign promoting "Blood Delivery."
5. Coffee intensified. Began chanting KILL EAT over and over in my mind. Added the border and broke the pencil.
6. Began rubbing the broken pencil on the left side of the page until told to stop making such an unbearable noise, completing the sketch.
Critical feedback welcome. Interpret as you please. I am not vegetarian.
Lol, A tattoo artist friend, make a painting of a pig dressed as a butcher selling his arm. This is the best I have done art wise. The gentleman is my brother Hercules. I am using water colors, to storyboard a UI. I have to redo some slides, because I made typos in bubble letters. I have to fix them before meeting with the small businesses development counsel. We might just use the storyboard as the UI. You guys are smart so that is the limit of details, I can share.
Well the work barrier is huge. While my partner is capable of the project, he has to relearn things that constantly change, and other people on his team normally do. We were talking today how his time was the most expensive part of the project, and I couldn't afford him. He has too many bills to pay to get off salary at work, and be a contractor. I then brought up that his babies mama can't afford his time either, but she dictates every waking moment. I was kind of pissed off the rest of the day, at that thought. The lectures that I have been listening to say that people should keep startups, as side projects while they are still in school. Businesses take more time than children. I will actually be learning things that apply directly to the project, and have several years of school left. Once I get done with statistics, the classes for my major shouldn't be too hard. Both of us have too many other commitments to grow very quickly. The point is to fund a nonprofit, so I am terrified of having a private company run off with it. There are thousands of clones of first person shooters for example, so I am still really unclear on what we would even be able to own. I talk to not so bright people, and children about it all the time, irl. I really am not handling the technical part, so criticism from kids is the most important.
Businesses do take a lot of time! I prioritized startups while in school and my grades suffered a lot. On the other hand, I learned the skills that got me my current job. I'm glad to hear you're seeking feedback from people you trust! Good luck on your idea.
