be a rogue scholar.

I honestly want to do this….i hav an intership that im workin on getting with a county council woman in erie county in NY! i am currently in a community college and hope to attend a 4 year and want all tha shine time i can get so i can get where i want to be….a distinguished rogue scholar that has connects to diplomats and presidents and others of such prestige.

I am an artist; by which I mean that I make art. Incessantly. Involuntarily, at times. But I’m not what anyone would call a “classically trained” artist. This does not bother me, what does bother me however, is that I am not incredibly intimate with the history of the force that drives me through my life. Its like having a lover which you are enamoured with seemingly beyond mortal capacity, but then realizing you know nothing of thier past. “You played the trumpet for five years? You lived in Africa?” God, I had no idea. How mysterious. How intruiging. And with that comes the awareness of how little you know, how you can never really know it all, but one thing is certain: you want to know more.

So. Rogue Lesson One: Spotlight on ten artists [or more] of any kind, from any era. Selected at random, recommended by friends or perhaps by the mysterious and I’m sure, lovely folks that seem to regularly read my verbose ranting.

Any suggestions, ladies and gents?
