it just means much to me
The Federation's grand contest
Unclog the Artist is doing great. You'll find the current entries
here. Read the contest announcement
here. And now letting the judges introduce themselves!






1. Who are you?
=
demoncherry: "My name is Cheryl."
*
smolkingmerrors: "*
smolkingmerrors"
*
Iohannis: "I'm not too fond of radical identity politics, and even less of the usual metrics of occupation, kin relations and sexual categories. I'm someone who meddles with indigenous Euro-American achievements, whether academic, literary, artistic, political or otherwise intellectual; probably for the most part to feel them fracture. There is some chance that this involves being a feminist, too."
=
Balen13: "I am Chris Beacock."
=
siby: "Strictly non-stop day-dreamer, an optimist, realist and chocolate-lover."
=
Lechtonen: "A professional journalist and a book store cashier, amateur artist and aspiring game designer. In this context also the founder of #
Acid-Burst-Love-Fed."
2. Which media or art forms you consider to be your specialty?
=
demoncherry: "I consider fantasy digital art my speciality."
*
smolkingmerrors: "Prose."
*
Iohannis: "I suppose that the fractures enter the stage here too. I've a strong inclination towards traditional, non-electronic media, but breaking things, impurity and sexual/erotic(/romantic) tension attracts so that it does not matter in the end. What matters is how painstakingly and uneconomically someone seems to become almost self-like, or fail miserably in it, in an art object or on some other surface."
=
Balen13: "I'm primarily a digital artist working mainly with Oil Painting. My work is often of a shamanic nature similar in style (I believe) to impressionist/abstract."
=
siby: "Especially photography, and a little paintbrushing/drawing."
=
Lechtonen: "Watercolour and to some extent other traditional media. Also visual design and Finnish literature."
3. How is it going with the artist's block? Got through it yet?
=
demoncherry: "I'm getting there. I have been doing a few pencil sketches, but now I am studying I get less time than ever."
*
smolkingmerrors: "I'm writing slowly but I'm happy with what's coming out, so that's all that matters."
*
Iohannis: "Nope, even if I'm capable of getting thrilled when I recall the scent of masking liquid and acrylics. The block hasn't made me gentler either. I do have some new scraps and interesting projects, but they don't mean to the least that I've been inspirationally unclogged."
=
Balen13: "Still Feeling unmotivated but have been more and more able to work on pieces, so it's progressing."
=
siby: "Hm?

"
=
Lechtonen: "I have been able to express something lately, but nothing much deep."
