Yall-- got some bad news. Probably won't be able to blog as much since I got kicked of design school (I usually do most of my blogging from public wifi or the Digital Imaging Apple Lab). I was actually a student worker in the lab, and decided 2 start a lil business where I would use the large scale printers to make custom posters for my friends. It has actually always been my dream to start a t-shirt/poster eCommerce website.
N e ways... was actually printing out a hi resolution image for myself. Just wanted to hang this picture of Crystal Castles lead singer Alice Glass on my ceiling right above my bed. A lot of mainstreamers have pix of Jessica Alba/Cindy Crawford/Bob Marley in their room. I just wanted to alt-ify my dorm room a bit [via tugging urself 2 sleep].
But yea... my dickhead professor walked in and 'flipped a shit.' I wasted s00 much of the department's ink budget. He was angry, and said that my ideas were bullshit anyways because I just 'put Helvetica over everything and call it ART.' I was immediately called into the Dean's Office, and had a talk. My grades were low, yall. Just been getting caught up in other aspects of life, and sometimes I just don't care about meaningless Art History/Photoshop projects. Just want to get a Marc Jacobs/Urban Outfitters/Busted Tees internship. Got asked to resign from school so that they wouldn't have to expell me. Had to clear out of my dorm room by 5 pm. sucked.
Going to pretend that I am still going to college for the rest of the semester, then just pretend to drop out so that my parents aren't mad at me/stop paying my rent and make me move back 2 suburbia.
Have yall ever gotten in trouble for using resources that u weren't supposed 2?
Have yall ever been in trouble? How do yall 'deal with it'? Do u just try to say ur not supposed to fit in2 society and that every1 else is stupid and doesn't 'get' what 'truly matters'?

lol crls
i actually want one of those, the alt should make more and sell them
@INDIEface,
of course they should make more and sell those so it can be more mainstream rite?

@Sandra,
Merde, Troisième
@Sandra, pwnd
idk if yr being real, but i got kicked out of college too and now i have job that i H8 and H8 life. sucks 2 b me
@blopester, well I finished college and I have a job that i h8. Works both ways. Having a degree doesn't necessarily mean anything.
@blurter, i dunno. i think it means i make a shit ton moar money than you. rite tho?
@right, there porb wont be a job market next year guys...
@right, i meant probably
@right, i have an arts and crafts degree from a progressive art school...
now i work in the construction industry (via dancing in the dark remix)...
kinda sucks but the money's good...
still trying to find my place/meaning/authenticity in the world...
that sux...community college might be authentic. or else u can try "living off the land" and panhandle 4 sparks.
@dan-onymous, community college ftw!
Never used school resources, but in element-ry school, I wrote a sexually explicit story about talking sandwiches...
Got sent to the principal's office, y'all.
@Jordyn, in elementry school i wrote a sexually explicit story about "punk rock" and everyone made a big deal about it. oops.
@anon, Yeah I told kids i wanted them to die, big fucking deal, elementary is so mainstream yall.
hey what's up
It is really hard to get kicked out of design school. Congrats!
Sorry to hear about that, although getting thrown outta art school was a great opportunity for me to explore the nastiness of american ghettos, my condolences, chin up, maybe move to berlin, it'll up yr alt-ness considerably...otherwize, keep up the great work here, consistently very deep n amusing.
@Sean, they gots tween ppl killers in germany, is killing tweens authentic if ur still a tween?
yes CRLS, blg abt tweens running amok in germany. also analyze how the popular chat platform aka twittr is getting mainstream [via massive media hype from ppl who 'keep up with the times' and think they r 'progressive'/'hip' by mentioning it]
Helvetica
@Henderson (real nme), Comic Sans
this speaks 2 me carls. this speaks to my situation being post-college expulsion/post-mnstrm expectations about the 'future'/post-being so over the pains and isolation of suburbian life, bro.
think i might move to skid row.
think i might walk a'†' the 'american states of unity' with my dog, roscoe that i adopted (via my local suburban pound)(he has a bad case of mange) and just 'be'
think i might sell all of my belongings (except my cellular mobile device so i can write an AMZNG suicide text to my first partner in coitus) and buy enough amphetamines to crack myself out one last time before i sleep 4ever.
and now i feel so vulns for telling yall about my problems. h8 u opportunities for intervention
du opfer!
you should have printed that pic uv lil boots n told them it was postmodern plus yr gonna tug to her in like 3 months anyways.
@corydan, ur so right
Q: i was admitted to the school of the art institute of chicago. 45,000 a year. i only have 22,000 in scholarships. should i go?
@evan,
YEZ
@evan, the grad school at saic is good, but u can find better undergrad programs elsewhere.
then again, if u just want the "art school experience" saic is the place. you can slack off so hardcore and bullshitting "concepts" is easy.
pros: NO GRADES, NO MAJORS + tons of alt broads.
cons: u prob wont learn anything except how to trick people into thinking you know something that they don't. (but isn't that the point of art anyways?)
@anom, yes
@anom, haha, well... the only reason i want to attend is because i want to get into the graduate school (easily)...
i might go to columbus college of art & design. but i want a loft on michigan avenue. kinda dissssssappointed.
@eevvaann, CCAD!!! holler
@evan, too conceptual dawg...
Grow up. everything is not a game.
@Nick, You're cute
Just start the poster site. Save for the printer. Or use another online service to do the actual printing, but select the posters yourself and sell them on for more then you are paying for the prints. Your advantage will be the quality of the prints you choose. Sell your own art. Whatever. You obv. get enough traffic from your blog to get some decent publicity. What's the worst that can happen. Go for it.
wait, is he being serious? is that really him?
@Marsha, defs
@trying2findmyself, carles is cute as fuck y'all
You fucking moron.
that sucks dude. i'd probably pull the same shit. if i get kicked out of school i'd stay on the DL too.
best of luck!
thx 4 getting vulns, nao we can relate 2 u better. almost had the same thing happen 2 me 4 'writerz school' [via English/PoliSci 2x major].
Crls is that you? Yr keute. you can come live with me
How I wish this was true.
crystal castles is always causin trubles
http://www.myspace.com/youlovehercozshesdead
You Love Her Coz She's Dead is :
☺ british
☺ the perfect CC substitute
☺ cool enuf to be on altween show "skins aka tugs n drugs"
@louis, You love her coz she's Alice
@louis, correct me if I'm wrong but I believe christine castles were 'cool enuf' to be on series two of popular altsoap 'tugs n drugs'
not shithouse season three with shithouse 'bands' ugh
ps: ylhcsd=ass hole rip offs of cc
@anony69, o dang how did i forget that
@louis, ylhcsd is eh.
i dont think its real... but its funneh as hell !
w8 is that bro CRLS or some sort of mnstrm designbro?
crls i know that aint u because that shirt aint amerapparel you piece of shit....................... really makes you wonder for wot actual reason someone, somewhere, somewhere warm, would print an alice glass poster in that size. yeah it makes me wonder (via the lead zeppelins)
@INDIEface, my walls aren't boring they are made of corrugated tin cuz i live in a warehouse where i also host my electro-noise shows every friday 1AM... you should come, $2 doors
i had no idea white thongs r the new "thing", brb going 2 "alt-ify" my brand sum more [via a surfshop]
wish i could design outside of mi free copy of "livequartz" :(
i got kicked out of architecture school and ended up continuing school in another major. it's weird because i know one huddle of people who use one kind of jargon and another bushel who speak something else. i think if my architecture and english posses met they would not understand or care about each other. I am like the middle of their venn diagram..
but essentially i was really depressed for a month and then i started doing something else. plunge into something right now. be productive and it will ease any regrets.
hahahaha, oh god, all you people, who think this is true and its him on that picture. ever heard of sarcasm?
obviously hes role playing again.
@stupidlemmings,
ever heard of being in on the joke?
FGGT.
@stupidlemmings,what? thats not carles?
'disappear' to brazil carls. it is the land of milk and honey. you will thank me later. 'falling off the face of the earth' is the ultimate act of alt-ness besides 'ending it.'
@tragedy in toyland,
Genius plan, dooo iiit carles!!
thought that was gerry way the singer for 'my bloody chemical romance.' have u heard of them carles? kind of meaningful and conceptual. have to 'listen to the lyrics' [via headphones] to truly 'get' them i think.
@pandy bear, i luv everything about that cmnt
yep sucks. that happened at my design school, except instead of getting kicked out, they just started charging every person for prints. sucks.
classic post carles.
WHY DOES EVERYONE TALK (IN COMMENTS) LIKE CARLES JR. DOESN'T MAKE ANY GOD DAMN SENSE..
PEACE NIGS
@GAY:
HRO = ambivalent satire of/homage to hipster culture.
HRO commenters = ambivalent satire of/homage to HRO.
The HRO circle of life = a meta-ironic daisy chain, y'all.
carles, i am glad i cant tell when ur shitten or not, it makes me feel like life is a movie, which i like.
oh god, so this is the 17 year old boy that every pseudo counter culturalist pretends to relate to.
sad day for carlesie.
its okay pal... there's always the marines.
I plagiarized because I am utterly miserable and tired of writing rather then designing and was on the verge of getting kicked out of my art school. I luckily have just been given a failing grade for that class. Moving on... Just remember man it's not the end of the world. The world doesn't fall apart, it falls in place. Good Luck
it's bc the state took the <3 out of sparks. yr altprof was cranx.
Its cool bro, you seem to have a lot of talent to take you places. I stopped going to art school because I did the math and noticed I would be in debt for the rest of my life... really, "art school".
well...i think the school was harsh, but that poster was def an indulgence, like this blog. which maybe is the point of this particular post? dunno, hope so. the fiction plays out better than the fact.
I stole $32.17 in coins and dollar bills that I found last week in a pink canister in the student gov't office which was labeled "Hats Off Day, helping find a cure for childhood cancer." I'll probably burn in hell, but I got to eat dinner that night and put my some gas in my car to get to scool till payday.. Plus, no one had touched that canister since 2005..
As for this ish that happened to you? Fuck that douche prof. Best wishes on your commerical poster ventures.
Man, you do have to realize something
If they kicked you out that means that you did something wrong. They don't expel people gratuitously. But anyway, you have to start taking things a little bit more seriously. Because that's how the world works. It sucks, I know, but you will have to learn how to deal with it.
There is no alt.
There is no god.
But you can still have a nice life.
If you keep blogging this adolescent hipster nonsense, perhaps you will land some kind of entry level design job somewhere. Oh no, thats right, you still need to have at least an undergrad level education in order to get any kind of halfway respectable job anywhere. And given that the Second Great Economic Depression is under way, even with an education, your chances of landing that job are slim to none. TOO BAD SO SAD! I'm so sorry! Oh, but wait, being from the 'burbs, I'm sure your dad is rich and can hook you up with a job and/or pay the college to let you back in. Just wait around and whine and pout with some delusional sense of entitlement until someone hands you the silver spoon with your destiny inscribed upon it. Douchebag.
@Fuck,
Thank you for posting this. You are absolutely right.
Perhaps you should've payed more attention in English class before you publicly posted your "writing" for the world to see. Also, serves you right for being a spoiled trust-fund baby.
Parody troll sur does get attention.
where did you get that photo of alice in such high reso from?!
This is my photo and this is my story
This poster has effected me in strange ways
At two shows ive droped alice glass to the floor mabye if i spent more time at the gym than laying in bed/having nightmares waking up to this poster i could hold her up with pride.
On the second time i droped her i got glandular feaver and actualy did fail uni and almost get kicked out! crazie eh
any way lets hope i can be strong enough next time now empowered with a environmental design degree which logically should give me some sort of support ideas/emotions
blaa no ones tricked
That is some bad photo-shop mr CRLS so much for that education i see
this is exactly what happened to me at art school
He deserved it.
He deserved it.
