YOU FOOL! YOU HAVE BEEN FOOLED! YOU THOUGHT THIS BLOG WAS ABOUT ART, BUT ACTUALLY, IT IS AN ART ABOUT BLOG, ABOUT MY NONSENSICAL NIGHTMARE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE CONSIDERED ART, COMMENTED AND CEMENTED INTO normal and boring ART. Although I would really like to write about brain-nourishing content, I'm unable to do so. And most people won't read what I write either. So what's the point? People can find interesting information about famous artists all over the internet that everybody knows. But that's not what I want to do. Not yet. I'm still healing, and this text is the catharsis that carries my thoughts, so I don't have to choke myself with a Browning and pull the trigger. No no no no no. I need to LIVE. Because that's what humans are supposed to do, right?

So now that we have settled on what this blog is about, you already know that you shouldn't expect good content from me. Sometimes, maybe, I may spit a pearl or two about art, or about my personal life. But the future is promising. I'm writing a lot of stuff, stuff that you guys aren't allowed to read (yet), and that has actual meaning and quality.

Nobody ever wanted to read about art in general. People have way too much voice, so it doesn't matter really. There are too many artists and too little to talk about them. Even though I'd love to talk about them, I'd just bore people to death writing long, eloquent, and frisky texts about the "new phenomenal painter you've never heard about and will never hear about again". Maybe someday, maybe when my life is healthier, and my mind starts to be organized, I will have the pleasure to write that kind of content. Maybe I could travel the world getting to know REAL artists (people who truly deserve the burden of an artist), and then I'll write about them. That would be lovely. And a LOT BETTER than writing about pretentious pieces of shit that paint empty canvases with empty hearts and no endeavor.

If you are SEARCHING FOR THAT KIND OF CONTENT, try reading Artnet News, or watching Sotheby's auctions. Try to memorize the names of contemporary artists so you can feel better than the people around you because you are a fucking loser with low self-esteem that wants to embody the "art snob" archetype.

I am sorry if you'd rather read something else. You have all the freedom to do so.

But at least, you'll know that everything I've written and posted here, at stoots.art, is a pure, unfiltered, emotional rant. You'll never find a single advertisement on this website, nor you'll find corporative/institutional language here.

Last month, I started monitoring how many people read this blog. It is a very pleasant (and scary) surprise, to see that over 150 people access my website monthly. Probably most people don't even read most of the things I write, but still, I've never thought of people from all around the world (mostly the USA and the UK, but even people from Romania have been reading the stuff I make). For that reason, I can only say one thing: Thank you. You guys make me feel heard. And I want to be better for you. I want to write things that'll actually change your day. I want to spark something in your eyes. I really do.

But for now, I'm still a pretentious piece of shit with an empty canvas and an empty heart.

Thank you so much for reading.

With love, Stoots.
