Back in art school, my good friend, the uber talented and now quite
successful Jack Myers, had this great idea to make artist infomercials.
We did several. Most of them are parody. For mine, I decided to do a
character that was as opposite from me as possible. An overwrought,
gothy, chain smoking, depressed painter and performance artist.
Example quotes "I don't remember my childhood. I hear it was very
traumatic though." "Do you know why I hate nature?" It is also the only
place you will ever see me holding or pretending to smoke a cigarette.
If you know me at all, you are already laughing.
I only wish I hadn't kept laughing during the "baby bird" section. And
the Patsy Cline at the end? Complete coincidence. Just happened to come
on the CKs jukebox as we were filming the last shot.
Watch these, they are funny. Mine starts at about eight minutes in.
Thank God for the internet. Otherwise I don't know if I'd ever have seen
these again.
