Now onto suicidal artists

I bet you thought was forgetting about that teaser from yesterday.

First of all, don’t worry, I am not suicidal but lately I have really been into great/famous artists who killed themselves.

I have been reading a book on the photographer Diane Arbus. I am not a big fan of her photos though some are growing on me, but I am facinated by her and her story. She battled horrible depressions. The anti-depressant she was on (back in the 60s) made her sick so she went off of them. There are some things that I could related to with Diane. She was shy and fearful but where we differed there was that conquoring her fear was what motivated her.

The other artist that ofted themself that I am facinated with is Elliott Smith, a singer. I have had one of this albums, the one that got finished after he died and I really liked it but lately I have been listening to it a lot. I have since bought another of his and there are another 2 that I want. Good stuff albeit mopey.

I am tired and this post isn’t as indepth as I originally thinking. Maybe I will come back another time and elaborate more.
