Last week, I attended the sneak peek screening of BEAUTIFUL LOSER's by director and pal Aaron Rose. The film is an inspiration for everyone, and encourages the thought...JUST MAKE SOMETHING!
There is something wonderful about witnessing the sweet build up of a movement, a subtle birth of ideas that ignites a contagious riot of creativity. These kids were not all trained, they didn't wait for something to happen to them. They set out to fill their time making unconventional installations of colorful stuff. This stuff was received with happy praise and prompted them to rush home and want to make more and more work.
There are some touching moments tucked within the film, some about lovely artist Margaret Kilgalen (I've always had an appreciation for her & we're born on the same day)
I am grateful that the SHOW PONY store sign was created by Aaron Rose.
(he had overheard me complain how we had been open for four years and still didn't have a shop sign. He then painted a cool old timey font sign with pretty pink flowers and secretly climbed up and hung it one day)
+Do yourself a favor and stop complaining or wasting time, GO AND SEE THIS MOVIE-
then get inspired to hit up an art supply shop on the way home.
