I have a love-hate relationship with guns. Little known fact, for about a year I carried a gun almost every single day for work. I'm actually quite a 'gun' on the firing range and I have held firearms licences in three states. I also know what it feels like to have the barrel of a cop's service revolver digging into the side of your head. I don't like guns. I don't like seeing them glorified as being anything more than what they are - killing machines. BUT I fucking love art and, as with the whole #PrettyFknEmbroidery phenomenon, juxtaposition in art turns me on more than just about anything. Sometimes things need to be ridiculously absurd just to make us realise how fucked up reality actually is. I'm celebrating art's ability to do that - not death. #prettyguns #juxtoqueen #absurdity #dontshootthemessenger #onelumportwo #coffeeteaordeath
