Yournal of a Model Chapter 14: “Your journey never ends”

One of my agents used to ask me, “who is your audience?” when talking about social media and I would brush her off. “Who is my audience?” I’d say it over and over before shrugging my shoulders and posting my next image, not caring too much as to who I was reaching or who was trying to reach me. Until it got away. My audience? Jesus, was I writing a college application essay?

_TOY_ punk, drugs, and mental illness

Do people remember the documentaries that Penelope Spheeris made? I remember The Decline of Western Civilization III about punk rock culture. Where the line between homelessness and punk rock is blurred, the aesthetic of the movie is the loneliness and survival it shows the unforgiving side of society.

I don´t want to be a mass-tourist.

I love traveling, and I used to travel a lot. But taveling in many ways has almost become like a capitalist monster, never full, until it has eaten up all around it. Seeing how crazy the whole world has gone about traveling, masses of people invading places sucking out their charming authenticity and leaving a trace of rubbish and disregard for the locals, Does that mean I can never travel again?

Music is not only my passion, I live for it. I lay in bed at night with my eyes closed but my mind constantly working, always thinking about the next step. What to do next, how or when to put out the next song. It’s almost as if the musician’s life has always been instilled within me. I know what I have to do, I know what’s meant for me and I’ve accepted the fact early on that I was never meant for the traditional lifestyle.

Dino Rovolis – The reality of an artist’s life

With our new series “An artist´s life.” we want to share the stories of the people behind the art. “In life, everything and anything can go wrong at any moment so instead of planning something ‘to a T’ I just utilize what I have in that moment. Art in general adds joy to someone’s soul, and I believe instead of making this field extremely competitive and out of reach, companies should open up more jobs and help the artists of this world grow and really make a living.”

“An artist´s life.” The stories of the people behind the art

Life is a journey. With its ups and downs. And what is the life of an artist? Moments full of endless creative ideas, encounters with great people, the magic of creating and creating. But also the moments of depression, of stasis. Despair and disappointment. With yourself and others. Moments of questions. Doubts. With our new series “An artist´s life.” we want to share the stories of the people behind the art and what they have to say about it.

Sometimes I despair

Sometimes I despair. I despair of myself and the world and my thoughts restlessly visit the supposedly dark places. Early in the morning, as the first birds begin to twitter,…
