Hi! I’ve been looking to discover new artists a lot lately, which inspired this thread! I think every artist has at least a few pieces that are their favourite. I’ll go with some of mine!
No AI is used in my process, progress pics are here!
Also, are there any pieces of art that you initially weren’t a big fan of when you finished them, but later warmed up to them?
I’m a performance artist. My favorite act is a sideshow burlesque act inspired by Junji Ito
Nice! What would you say the pro’s and con’s of it are? I don’t know any performance artists personally but I’m interested.
Pros and cons of performing?
Pros: it’s a great creative outlet, you end up with a lot of cool props and clothes, you meet some fantastic people
Cons: it doesn’t make much money, you meet some assholes with inflated egoes, depending on what you do it’s very competitive
I specifically do circus sideshow, fire, and burlesque (Coney Island if you know of it), which has the additional pro of being really fun at parties and getting to play with dangerous objects, but has the con that there is a real risk of severe injury
No sword swallowing? Just kidding. I appreciate your bravery since you’re playing with fire, in this case a literal sense! What’s the best experience you’ve had?
I don’t sword swallower or fire breathe because they’re exceptionally dangerous, speaking as a fire performance veteran
The absolute best thing about it is the community. It’s an international community, but everyone treats each other like family. It’s coming in clutch right now that I’m moving internationally.
