That Awkward Introduction

Starting a blog is something i have no experience with, but after a couple of months of attempting to help my Tutor with her fashion students blog; i have decide to make record of my intrests etc.etc...
 
I have no idea what will be the results, I like to think it wont become a dribbling messy excuse of "self expression"
I am currently studying Fine Art in my second year of college, and am now in a much more... Sober; place and maybe i can get this to stick.
 
I think that my earliest realization that i have a genuine intrest i art was when i saw Francis Bacon Pope Innocente X Velázquez Comparison. By dedicating this painting to an old master Bacon emphasizes, I beleive... his true feeling towards this "Unknowingly" evil man. Velázquez was a master of representation and of documentation, Bacon on the other hand opened a third possibility for the development of painting beyond pure representation or pure abstraction.
And this introduction i beleive to be some kind of love at first sight, as i have always been intrested by the hypocracys of relgion in general and this has been some thing that always plays on my mind, along with modern consumerist culture, drug use and ironys in society.
