NERD BLOOD FUELS  MY BULGING MUSCLES Acrylic on bottle. © Nov 18th 2011. By Leighton Kelly i, for some reason, have always been attracted to unique and strange things. people and objects alike. sometimes even in places i have traveled to where the people are normal and the buildings bland are the most unique and strange i’ve ever seen.  when i was younger i traveled the fringe of the weirdos of the underground and saw some pretty crazy shit. some of it was genius, some disgusting, and some just plain weird. i liked it all because i didn’t have the filters i have now as a jaded 30 something scenester so i just got conditioned by all of it. this portrait is from a band called 3-day stubble where the Nerds rocked the stage in polyester and ill advised songs about boogers and expressing yourself. nowadays i know how overrated expressing yourself is so i don’t advise anyone to do it unless you have had a lot of practice being rejected. i mean it! don’t go off half cocked with an improv dance routine in public until you have mastered the skill of not giving a fuck at the same time as noting from audience reaction where to do less theatrical somersaults and bird movement and more staying at home and honing your blogging skills. or whatever. let your freak flag fly.. its the end of the world anyway and the perfect time to exhibit your craft to the alien overlords.  they might even leave us alone if you do.
