Smith and wesson model 340PD .357 revolver

It’s light and if you need more than 5 shots to get yourself out of a jam you shouldn’t be allowed to own a gun.

Milwaukee Fastback Utility Knife

I try to keep a knife on me at all times… People like to make fun of it but everyone who has spent any time w me has found themselves needing it at some point. Shyan has caught me without one a few times recently and he freaks out every time. Be an adult, start carrying your own. This is the knife I carry when I’m at the shop… My buddy Fritz got me hooked. No other utility knife opens easily with one hand.

Benchmade Bugout Knock Off Pocket Knife for $34

having a pocket knife is really important to me. I'm always needing to cut open a package or slice a piece of cheese or a million other things. I like this knife. Got it yesterday. It is cheap, so not a disaster if you lose it or break it. Of course it doesn't compare to the real deal or many more quality knives, but it is really quite delightful. And so lightweight. If you live in a city with specific knife laws (SF bars knives over 3 inches, for instance) you can always go with their mini version.

Process and experience

So vulnerable, I have to be sincere. European and American art galleries historically are not only promoters of great art, they are creators of markets. That may be where you could shift focus. Your worth is that you are young, eating rat, living a life of passion, filth, messiness, body horror (per my comment on such) unique and unknown to those with money. They crave you, not for your art. That's worthless to them. The art, as photographs per Sontag in my other rec, is simply a receipt that they owned a piece of your lifestyle for a moment. No one who will buy your art will likely give a fuck about your art. Stop seeking those. Find the Glengarry Glen Ross customers seeking life, escape from drudgery, a need to prove something to themselves. Let your art be that for them. Enough bs theory, now for implementation. You won't sell your art, but you can sell the frustration, bloodsweattears, dedication, sacrifice that drips from your post. You can do so by simultaneously reminding yourself you are not creating ART but CREATING art. Your work and worth is not on a canvas. It's not the art. It's in you, the artist.
