Oil For Blood- Challenge Entry - UA belongs to the following groups:

Unconventional Artistry - 3 per day

In flowing globbets, and globules, it comes pouring out
Like colored proof of sickness swelling inside, but prettier
Spewing off of tongue, out of pen, through the brush, away
Onto canvas, into papers, entering ears and making merry
It comes in colors. like the rainbows, and Rolling Stones
Something different this way comes, and it comes hard
Not the pastry-creme dreams with sunnybrooke farm twist
Never the Partridge Family Reunion special memorabilia
Something more, or less, or twisted, or preening darkly
Not to be labeled unconventional, but to be gathered in
Consensus happens, triteness founders, bullshite walks
Come in, open your veins, stay awhile, and bleed in oil
With us, for us, against us, in us, out us, doesn’t matter
Just do it, do it real, do it well, and remember this, most
I am the artist, I am the artist, I am the artist, I am the artist
Think what you will, but don’t give advice, or bring expectation
Because I am the arist, and I’m not here to make nice
