Narcissist
"Narcissist" 30"x40" Oil on Canvas, 2014
"I think that all creatives (and people in general), are inherently narcissistic. The difference of which degree of narcissism a person embodies is relatable with celebrity. Those that embrace their narcissism and thrive on attention, gain what is known as "celebrity" status, while some of the more shy and reclusive sorts (and a little less narcissistic) are somewhat embarrassed and shy away from the attention thus putting that energy into striving towards creating better work. But in the end, we all as people, have the desire and the right to connect with others to leave a little bit of our soul behind.
So who cares if your "selfie" makes you "Narcissistic" or any other "mental disorder"? Theres nothing wrong in baring your soul and having a yearning to connect with someone….anyone! Leave behind your legacy, whichever it may be, tell your story, share that crazy thought, just be yourself. Cause in the end, who really gives a flying f**k anyway?"
