I think not.

Show me a happy homosexual and I'll show you a gay corpse as one of the lines from The Boys in the Band go.

So, you are unhappy then?

I don´t know who has him. RIP

As an amateur senior student of psychologie. I got to say that most of the creative people , incluiding myself are very depressive.

What an unoriginal comment, with all your posts I thought you would come up with something all on your own, but no, you are just a poseur.

RIP to someone who was doing really interesting work, while being grounded in how to make it all happen. I think this quote is especially applicable to all the artists out there struggling to make their work and get it out there:

And how did you finance it?

That question hits an important point in my work (and pet peeve), because many people are always interested in how I get work out there, financially. And it's quite simple. If there's something I really believe in, I just find a way to make it happen. No daily Starbucks (US$4) or cigs ($8) or dining out ($20), and before you know it you've got the money to do something.

We self-financed the entire Wrong Store project, and it wasn't cheap. But while we actually couldn't afford it, we really couldn't afford to pass on the opportunity. We didn't want to rely on any sponsors, because we didn't want to answer to anyone, or let them get in the way. So we saved and put our own money away for months. We thought the creative outcome was worth the investment.

I get really frustrated with young artists or designers who yap about all the great ideas they have and don't take any action because they're waiting for a manufacturer, sponsor, or whatever to help. Or even worse, they're waiting to "make it big" to realize these projects.

Why do they call people "gay" if they are so unhappy?
