Collage #2 - Outsider Looking In
I was always on the outside
Looking in
Wasn’t much I wanted in there
Loner type
Like the song by Bob Dylan
Off the album BLONDE ON BLONDE
“Just Like a Woman”
The line … ‘I can’t fit”
So Art called
I jumped in
Many years later I remain
A movement for outside artists
Platform to stand tall
Malcontents, nonconformists, freaks
It’s like your warm embrace
Finally… I fit

Ive always somehow managed being on the outside, though a good fit is still nice. Great poetry and painting. I especially like all the vertical implications with box head standing there in a horizontally striped shirt, fucking priceless!

Strangely enough the outside often felt safe to me. Sometimes inside too but that was more sexual ...
The boxheads started out as a lark. It's been a wild ride. People seem to enjoy them so I draw or paint them occasionally. They are fun freaks!
Collages are fun too. Fiddly work. I'm not really a precision guy but the medium requires patience. You'll probably see more ..
Thanks for the great comment Sir Thor

I love the expression here, PS!
It is much easier to be authentic from the outside looking in, I too have always felt more comfortable there.
The best people I've ever met didn't "fit in" a sheep-sized box.
Excellent write.

HI PS,
Wow same initials !!
Many thanks on the new collage and poem.
They are a challenge to create and I really am enjoying the thinking process. I’ve got another small one in the works and can see myself doing this for awhile.
Appreciate the nod and I like your new avatar
Thanks

Why does it seem like creatives are usually loners? Art is your territory, for sure!

That's a good question Willow ?
I don't know. Maybe it's because we prefer our own company more than that of others and we get more done.
I've always felt my art stuff is better than my writing so yes !!
Thanks darling

Oh wow, this one is even better than your first, to me at least.
With the use of outsider on your artwork, it pairs so well with your poem.
The poem on itself is amazing (even without artwork) "I can’t fit" > I hear you.
Great piece PoetSpeak.

BIG THANKS Duende
Yes, the I can't fit line, how many of us feel that way ?
Outsider Art is a good fit for me.
I try to follow rules but in the end I'm better at giving them. Misfit if you will.
I'm really enjoying the collage journey and I'm glad you like them.
That means a lot to me
Thanks ✋

LOVE the colours & the fun in this piece!
Yeah.. not fitting.. I definitely get that. Even in a crowd of misfits I feel more like an observer than a participant...

Yeah, there's lots of us that don't fit but it's better to stay that way then to have to form a club of non-fitters. Ya know ?

It's the nonconformist that are the pioneers, the outliers that lead change.
Great work sir.
