My Bio
**Visit the Artblog: oliveart.livejournal.com/ **

The scar between my eyebrows was made by a tea saucer filled with fake sardines which collided, quite gracefully, with my forehead.

I like: Light, muted color, reflection, simplicity, tea, Wes Anderson, and The X-Files. I derive inspiration from a)whim and b)Tomato; an art collective founded by John Warwicker along with Karl Hyde and Rick Smith of UnderWORLD;

My main prerogative in art is to make everyday things glamorous for my own benefit, and the optional benefit of others.

At University, I study Anthropology. I'm on to you wankers.

Current Residence: Atlanta
Favourite genre of music: electronic (which is more encompassing than one may think) ambient, jazz, alternative...
Favourite style of art: spontaneous, non-objective, Precisionism, De Stijl, Bauhaus, Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts
Operating System: Leopard OS 10.5
MP3 player of choice: a lovely 30GB video iPod which is full & needs an upgrade to 120GB

I listen to a lot of music these days. My fingertips are beginning to tingle with life again.

I'm the lowest I've ever been. I live in a city I hate, I've lost the man I had hoped to marry, he's moving to London without me, my best friends are 900 miles away, my family doesn't know me (nor do they want to), I go to a shit school, I'm unemployed, and I would like to get my hopes up about moving and transferring to a better school, but I can't because that all relies on chance...whether or not I'm chosen for scholarships. I have nothing to look forward to and every time I look back, I see how happy I was with him. I have nothing and no one. Don't expect a lot of art out of me. Don't expect a lot of anything. I'm hollow. I'm sand.

Hello all! I'm desperately trying to make some money to visit my best friend in January and, as deviantArt has so much competition/not much activity in the print section, I'm putting up artwork in a facebook event entitled OliveArt. If you aren't already facebook friends with me, you may add me here: http://www.facebook.com/OliveOilArt (If I don't know you personally, please include a note with your friend request letting me know that you're from dA!) Please help me fund this trip AND be my friend! :D Thanks for any consideration.
