Cyanogripe


Ricky was that kid in art class who decided that cyanotypes were his "thing" and there wasn't NOTHIN' that was gonna change his mind. Dead leaf after dead leaf. We got it, we got it already! Critiques were a nightmare when Ricky was up. There just wasn't anything LIVE in his pictures.
"Picasso had his blue period," one student correctly pointed out.
"I just feel like this is my thing," replied Ricky defiantly, as we all cut him a new asshole with our relentless hatred for his work.

But the joke was all on us. Turns out the galleries LOVED Ricky's blue flower shadows, goddamn them all.
