Grunge is almost a sort of lifestyle. Unique individuals with tattoos and green mohawks, living a more gritty and hardcore kind of life than average. Think indie, bohemian and alternative. Grunge artists secede from conventionality in both life and art.
Sunshine is more of a personality. Someone who centers on brightness, happiness and other "esses". Think Bob Ross or Julia Child.
These are the two extremes of the art world, the two extremes that I tend to embody in myself. I adhere to my ethics and morals with a passion, yet I yearn towards the alternative and bohemian freedom.
Grunge and sunshine. A complex combination of two conflicting choices. Rather than chose between, I take elements of both.
So, hardcore happiness and bright alternatives. Literally, the best of both worlds.

Who the heck are you?
- Caitlin
- I am an artist masquerading as an adult masquerading as an artist. Actually, I'm really a daydreamer with a master's degree in procrastination, and I enjoy sitting in my spare room turned studio sipping red wine and painting, sketching, writing, crafting, photographing, doodling and daydreaming. (Oh, did I mention I like daydreaming?) I believe that art is the communication of an unspoken language between souls, and here in my little corner of the world, I hope to create something that speaks to your soul, and invokes a spark of passion, a taste of joy or even just a whisper of possibilites.
What an awesome beginning! Ilove the background, too. Very much fits the dreamer. Dreamer, eh? Reminds me of someone else......
ReplyDeleteSo you're a hippie vampire? hehee...
ReplyDeleteWhat the...No! How would that even work? Would there be a vampire wearing a tie-dye shirt with a big peace symbol on it, making daisy chain necklaces while reading Bram Stoker's Dracula:101 A Guide to the Nosferatu & You?
