Skulls, why?

It said on Wiki that he had to try twice. Art places tend to take you on your actual art as opposed to grades, though.

This is what wiki says about him:
His art teacher "pleaded"[8] for Hirst to be allowed to enter the sixth form,[8] where he took two A-levels, achieving an "E" grade in art.[7] He went to Leeds College of Art and Design, although the first time he applied he was refused admission. He worked for two years on London building sites, then studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London[7] (1986–89), although again he was refused a place the first time he applied. While a student, Hirst had a placement at a mortuary, an experience that influenced his later themes and materials.

Haha wicked. Goldsmiths looks amazing. AND he was born in Bristol. I'm blatantly gonna be the Damien Hirst of the media world.

Art places take you on their first impressions as well. A teacher at college (the foundation art course I did) was saying in the past they've been like 'ok, we only say yes to girls this year' or 'ok, we only take people wearing glasses this year'. They really test you, like play mind games...this teacher was a bit like that as well. Music courses you usually need an audition too and they might ignore your final grade...but they still like you to have a good grades. I think Hirst said something like 'Look where an E in A Level art can get you.' and a friend repeated it to the teacher of my a level course

The Verve are from here...but I'm going to be the female George Formby...

(oops off topic again)

I hate Damien Hirst. Hate. Hate. Hate. I hate that skull. I hate his sharks in formaldehyde. I hate his stupid sculptures. I hate his ridiculous money making escapades. He stands for everything I am morally against. I was thinking today about all the genuinely talented artists who never get anywhere, never make any money, and there he is, rolling in it, for being an absolute twat.

I also hate The Verve.

Nooo Rosa! The Verve are awesome =(

I like his theories more than his work. His skull is my favourite because I don't generally like dead things, and I'm not a fan of his paintings.

He hasn't got theories. He's just got a lot of money and a lot of fame and a ridiculous big head.

And I'm sorry but you're never going to convince me about the Verve (Or Hirst! before you try). When I was a kid I loved Bittersweet Symphony. I thought it was the most beautiful, poetical, metaphorical thing ever. Then I read proper poetry and listened to proper music and I saw proper art.

Verrrrrry strong opinions in the arts, just to warn you! Sorry if I come across a bit bullish. I just love what i love and i hate what i hate...

Hirst is the definition of modern art...and it's everything I hate about modern art.

As for The Verve, well I don't like his voice, I used to listen to the singles/popular songs but it erm...bores me. There's a bit of graffiti up the road, just says The Verve, and even though I don't like them much it was kinda cool...Mike loves them.

I don't know if anyone has said this yet, I didn't feel like reading everything
but

Queeny, the "bone" that you feel in your nose is actually just cartilage, the same thing your ears are made of. Its hard and can "break" but it decomposes at almost the same rate as flesh.

So there is that for you

Dooooon't say that! I'm getting my septum done on thursday and if they dare try putting a needle through that hard bit they can damn well fuck off. I'm terrified but I really like how they look.

lol Roma.

I like septum piercings on most people I see with them, but on some people... omg


Ok.. well this is just because she is a walking stereotype and a disgusting jerk.. but yea. Alright... Imagine this.

Overalls [and not any ones that you could consider just a "funky chick" being cool and not caring] with a patch, dirty gross stained shirts, greasy hair, ugly , yellow jagged teeth, she is just a disgusting person, I don't think she washes.

And I've dealed with Crust Kids, I'm all good with the crust punks

But this girl.. ugh. And She has a septum piercing and now whenever I hear septum, I think of her.. and ugh.

And honestly, its not just the way she looks. Her insides match her out, if they arn't worse. She is an obnoxious rasist who hates "sexism" except she took it to the OTHER extreme where she is sexest about men. She eats her boogers and...

ugh... I don't understand how someone could just... have that much disrespect for themsevles... ugh

She is...




ALRIGHT, so My point is Roma, AS LONG as you arn't her, I'M SURE it'll be amazing. And I havn't known anyone to have had it go wrong or anything.

As long as you don't do it at a Place called Diversity
Awesome

Yeah, don't worry Roma, they don't pierce the cartilage.

I thought cartilage was the fleshy bits of your nostrills, I didn't know it was that hard!

It sounds like you just described me.

Only kidding! Apart from the eating the boogers bit...


And I don't have any other facial piercings, which I think is important. I always think that more than one or maybe even two is pushing it. I've seen faces ruined by metal! I'm also not the typical person that gets their septum pierced... I don't wear heavy eye make-up and I don't wear much black. I don't fit into any stereotypes which sometimes makes me a bit sad but it gives me freedom to do whatever i want... like get my septum pierced!

I think...you have the right attitude for it.

A lot of people look stupid with it because they just want to look angry (it's the whole bull ring thing), but I reckon it'll look weird but cool on you. I wanna see!
