The Life of An Artist

Jan 13, 2023

BIRD: Look... I'm an artist. I create something from NOTHING.
BIRD: My work touches souls! Shapes minds! Changes lives! With these hands... I can touch the face of GOD!
BIRD: But sure... for ten bucks... I can... (sigh)... draw you a poodle in a party hat.
RABBIT: FIVE. Bird: Deal.

Create

Nov 27, 2022

BIRD: I truly feel I've been put here to create art. SQUIRREL: By whom?
BIRD: Someone with a grand plan.
BIRD: Or... a cruel sense of humor.
The squirrel considers the bird's art. SQUIRREL: Well, either way, I'd like to have a word with them.

Polite

Nov 23, 2022

A bird shows a painting to a fox and a rabbit. BIRD: How is it? And be polite! FOX: Hmm, now... What's a polite way to say, "It looks like garbage."
The bird angrily storms away.
RABBIT: Ooo, maybe say it in British? FOX: 'Ello, chap! Your paintin' is rubbish!
RABBIT: I think that sounded very polite. FOX: Well, it's important to be polite.

Shrugs

Oct 10, 2022

A rabbit and a squirrel react to a bird's painting. RABBIT: I don't think I... GET it. SQUIRREL: I get it. It's... FINE.
BIRD (thinking): (sigh) I pour out my soul. And all I get is two SHRUGS.
BIRD (thinking): But one day... my work will be seen, not by two, but by two MILLION!
BIRD (thinking): And I will drink deep from a well of two MILLION shrugs!

God Speaks

Aug 1, 2022

BIRD (thinking): When I create art, it's like God is speaking through me.
The bird paints.
The bird considers his art.
BIRD (thinking): And God is saying, "Maybe consider another line of work."

Doodle

Jul 25, 2022

SQUIRREL: If this is just a doodle, it's incredible.
SQUIRREL: But if you put a lot of time into this... it's pretty pathetic.
BIRD: Oh right, ha, yeah... This is just a doodle.
BIRD: Dang it...

All I Want

May 9, 2022

BIRD: ((All I want is for people to like my art.))
BIRD: ((And to not have to work too hard to make it.))
BIRD: ((And to get vast sums of money, fame, and fortune for it.))
BIRD: ((Is that so much to ask?))

Flow

Feb 9, 2022

ROONIE: They're in a FLOW STATE. Their every movement is in step with the one before. Time has slowed for them. They are nearing... perfection.
PITTMAN: HA! Done!
FLYNN: Macaroni art?
PITTMAN: PERFECT macaroni art!
ROONIE: Flow states can be for dumb stuff too, y'know.
PITTMAN: Quick!! I need more farfalle!

Progress

Dec 31, 2021

SHELKEY: Well, I've made a lot of progress as an artist this year.
SHELKEY: I've been boring, derivative, lazy, and pandering.

Nov 5, 2021

SHELKEY: Great art takes time.
A pause.
Checks watch.
SHELKEY: So maybe I'll just go for "OK" art.
