An Artists Ramble or Manifesto

An Artists Ramble or Manifesto

~

You see I'm not one thing in particular

I'm not a writer, well, sometimes I am

I'm a painter, a lot of the time

But sometimes I dont remember the last time I picked up a paintbrush

Or any art or creative tool for that matter

Well that can't be true

I had to have at least picked up a pencil right?

Anyway I'm an artist of sorts but sometimes my art doesn't look like others

Sometimes it's not with colored paints or etchings or images at all

My creativity flows through my body

My finger tips and my feet

My words and my tone

The world around me can be transformed by the shifting of furniture

The delicate manipulation of lighting and corners

Art on top of art when I rearrange my bedroom

I wear my art on my sleeve

A literal tattoo sleeve

When I adorn myself with liquid paints and pastel powder

And when I speak spells are cast

I am pure artist magic
