Swallowed madness. Puked. Painted with it.

i like this a lot. i think it succinctly and creatively answers the question.
Although the concept is very good I think I would use another word for “puked” and eliminate “painted with it.”
Madness should come first because that is the core of it.
Madness swallowed-even swallowed could change into a idiom which radiates the difficulty required to swallow it, but I know how difficult it is to do the 6 word thing.
Madness swallowed, projectile vomitting, creates masterpieces!
The later is really good…your choice. It feels more intelligent and reads well to. The exclaimation helps the reader feel the excitement of it all. Projectile vomitting is really a vision of the difficulty and sourness of swallowing madness.
Good luck and thank you for the opportunity.
Too me this little memoir is HIGHLY thought provoking, but then I guess they are probably intended to be. I know I run the risk of you asking for your money back, but I have nothing specific to say about this piece other than I was knocked off my socks by it. In your memoir I get the sense that there was a great trauma in your life and you made the best of a bad situation. I love it! I really hope you make it.
I wrote a detailed review of this, very detailed and utterly fucking thorough, but Urbis wiped it out with their bullshit Proxy error. I am unbelievably pissed off with this site.
Anyway… the gist of the review was that you’re using contrasting words to convey the insanity of the creative process very well… the first few words have a beatiful sound to them but in terms of meaning are revolting. Vice versa at the other end. Puke appears to be the nicely devious word holding the whole thing together.
I also said something pertaining to Patti Smith having a similiar attitude to transforming the lunacy of life into transcendent art, but my fingers are so fuming with rage that right now I only want to punch Steve until his face caves into cookie.
All right, refund this drivel. I apologise.
I’m off to assassinate Steve.
Be well.

I like anything that describes regurgitation that isn’t regurgitative. If I wore a beret and drank lattes I might say the deeper meaning behind this is taking something acid from inside you and externalizing that bitterness creatively. And then maybe I’d cut my ear off and mail it to someone.
Beautiful mash of soulful and disgusting. Says much of the author, follows guidelines and encourages the reader to re-read and absorb versus skimming over six simple words.
very succinct, visual and communicative. As an artist, I can identify. The artist immerses himself in the problem, becomes it, then uses the problem as a means to express it.
Excellent. Nice clear story, but interesting too. Loved the idea of painting with puke, even as it grosses me out. Nice job. Thanks!
Artistic imagery of a high quality. A great description worthy of publication.
Keep on painting with your words!
