Who I am looking for:
1/17/2009individuals.
individuals with experience.
individuals with genuine artistic talent:
Not crafters.
Not illustrators.
Not editors.
Not marketers.
Not schemers.
Not even witless pranksters.
Artists.
individual artists who are not:
strung out
act strung out
incapable of holding a dialog
exceedingly hip
stupid
individual artists who are:
intelligent
interesting
honest
humorous
self aware
self directed
multifaceted
magical
ideally:
Individuals with experiences with occult techniques, but not ruled by them. Experiences, not just knowing about them, or what to expect they would be like. Individuals who have had such experiences who indulge in their enjoyment, without looking back bitterly upon when their rationality and leashes abandoned them. Rather, those who are ready and able to enjoy all possible realities, for whatever they bring to ones own personal mythic narrative of life.
Individuals aware of Intellectual Decompression, creating a space and time in which belief of consensus reality falls away in favor of a subjective, dreamy, cathardic, and artistic playground. The realm of the Muse, where magic and creativity are spawned. Intellectual Decompression means that outside of this time and space, there are no machine elves, no ghosts, no gods, and no monsters. Although creativity of course, cannot be locked up in such confines.
Individuals who want to meet individuals who fill these qualifications. Individuals who are serious when it comes to their passions and their muses, but can laugh at just about everything else. Individuals who are diciplined, who can get into character, those who exceed at playing pretend, but don’t lose sight that its a game.
Individual of style, and the ability to freestyle, at the drop of a hat.
Individuals who can forth bring enriching experiences without even intending to. Individuals not entirely interested in selling out and making a profit. Individuals free of dogma, free of taboo, free.
Individuals who don’t need to convince people. Individuals who don’t find anything charming about alpha bully attitudes. Mature individuals, who want to play and who want to create.
Wide eyed idealists with hard heads and smiling faces, welcome.

I am far too bitter as I recoil further into hermitry to qualify, but I just popped on to say: That has got to be my favorite picture of yours that I’ve seen thus far.

Well yeah, that’s a place I’m coming from as well, but I know its not really ‘me’, in my heart of hearts. I am easily given to misanthropic bouts of hermitage, but that is only because I’m dissatisfied with my current options. This post is geared to creating new options for myself, essentially.
We talked earlier about why talking about magic [and I would extend, art] really kind of sucks to do after a while, but I’m going to be stubborn and envision a scenario where there are cures for those kinds of cancers.
Anyways! Thanks! I made that picture years ago, its a style of doodling I haven’t really done in a while, but I spent years doing things very much like that. Perhaps I will back peddle a ways and reinvestigate that aesthetic, thanks again…. :3

Generating new options is definitely a worthy quest, and I recognize that in my heart of hearts some where on the other side of this sulking there’s a kick ass party, where everyone is fascinating, and my input is actually needed inbetween games of Go, pots of green tea, and bouts of contortionist sex.
Misanthropic sulking seems to be just another wearily socially constructed box at times too these days.
I am finding that I totally don’t mind talking the technical aspects of magic with folks who are competent, and open minded these days. But in small, small doses.
Haha, I’ve totally become a Sigiltard lately. Probably mostly because it’s a completely uncontroversial, tried, and true, maybe even tired old standard by now that I’ve avoided for decades. I have no expectation that I’ll meet, and have an affair with a woman who looks just like Kelly Lebrock circa 1985, but why not try anyway LOL. I only have false pride, dignity, and self respect to lose haha.
Carry on sir, you do Satan’s fine work, you do.

let’s play man. There’s lots of work to be done. Connecting with high caliber individuals (folks whose resolve comes through the working of their own demon genius & are also enriched by the sharpening of iron against iron… Emergent aeffects. I’m very game. I long for that. What’ve you got in mind?

Wow this sums up my current aspirations so much. To many year of video games and dead-end jobs have done there toll but I’ve recently come much more self-aware and suddenly realized that I had been denying myself my dream of being an artist.
Currently unemployed, trying to rewrite my operating system, and trying to figure out how the hell I am going to pay rent.
Anyway, I wanna play too!
19 and four behind the door.
