YOUR PARIS NETWORK.

It is hard to paint with a possibly broken hand.
But art is pain, non?
Or so they say.

I'd say art is work, but I can't finish a manuscript, so.
Maybe not even that.

[noiamwild]

Perhaps that's part of the pain, non?
Being unable to finish something.
I have half a dozen canvases with quarter-finished work on them sitting around.

[sweptoff]

I trash it all afterwards.
When I'm done staring uselessly and throwing things across the room in frustration.

Sometimes it's my papers that go flying.
That's as far as they'll ever go.

[noiamwild]

Sometimes I'll put my work up on Etsy or something like that, if I really need the money
But mostly it sits around

[sweptoff]

I have a friend who reads over my drafts.
Do you have friends? For feedback and things like that?

@kleptonine

[epiny]

Tell me you broke your hand punching someone out.

[noiamwild]

It was in a boxing match, so yes I did.
Or, well. Not OUT. But punching someone, certainly.

[epiny]

Hot. Did you win?

[noiamwild]

I did win, yes.
I think I'm better at boxing than at painting, but they don't give scholarships for bare knuckle boxing.
So I have to stick to art if I want to pay for the rest of college, hélas.

[epiny]

Dude. Seriously hot. They got chick boxing? I bet I could do some damage.

[Eponine, you are 5' nothing and maybe 90 pounds. But you do have a great right hook.]

You don't need college for art. College is a waste of time and money anyway.

[She never even finished high school.]

[noiamwild]

All my friends are doing it, so I thought I might as well be a sheep and follow them.
Bêêêê.

[epiny]

Yeah but like, law school and med school and shit.

[noiamwild]

Are you saying art does not have the same importance as law or medicine?
Offense!

[epiny]

mon cher I am saying one of those makes money and the others do not.

but like it's a long time for the payoff. me, I like immediate gratification.

[noiamwild]

THAT is correct
But I didn't get into art to make money
I had passion for it, at some point

[epiny]

college kills dreams.

drop out.

[courfeyhot]

Want me to call Combeferre to take a look at it?
You should ice it. And maybe not paint with it.

But I'm just a lawyer, don't take my medical advice.

[noiamwild]

But that would be the logical thing to do.
Just don't call Jolllly, he'll fuss.

[courfeyhot]

Someone has to be. Usually it's Ferre but I think I've taken over for the day.

I won't. Seriously though, get some ice on that. What happened anyway?

[noiamwild]

I needed money for wine and paint.
(not to be mixed, mind)
So I signed up for a boxing match.

[courfeyhot]

Jesús cristo.

There are other ways to get money that don't involve breaking your hand.

[noiamwild]

I didn't break it ON PURPOSE.
His jaw was harder than it looked.
Very strong jaw, that man.

[courfeyhot]

Jaw that could cut glass. And break bones.

Go for the nose. Those are easier to break.

[noiamwild]

You should come, next time I fight
Shout advice from the sidelines
That I will not follow because my opponent knowing my every move seems like a poor plan

[courfeyhot]

You want Bahorel's punching advice. Not mine.

But I'd go. Happy to support a friend.

[Yes, she considers him a friend. Fight her, Enjolras.]
