I am native american Artist. I need a biography for portfolio.
Should I write my biography in a magical/spiritual metaphoric sense?
…or should I write it normally and like a scientific essay?
Do the magical….it sells more art…..
Nobody wants to know you graduated the Cleveland Institute of Art when you’re trying to sell them a telephone pole converted into a totem pole !
Nope, they want to hear about totem pole folklore, how your grandpa “Hunting Eagle” took you to the “Great Cave of the Wachipi Tribe” and smoked your first pipe, which “spiritually” lifted you to the 5th level of “sangua-chi-yet-ho”. And there you started in Art by mixing berries and pine cones to create “the picture of Arri-dah-has” on the cave……
And you can buy my original lithograph for $55.95…..oh, and my grandfather is the 2nd one on the top of the pole…..for $18,000 you too can own a piece of history…..

Best serial killer biographies?
Does anyone have any recommendations of serial killer biography books? Doesn’t have to be serial killers, can also be killers in general. I loved the biography of Mark David Chapman. ANY suggestions are taken with gratitude, please take them time, dear Yahooers!
Biographies do not particuarly interest me in the way of serial killers. I find them to take forever to get to the action, the gore et cetera.
I have a great deal of books on this subject, and my favourite one regarding lives of killers is called “Talking With Serial Killers” by Christopher Berry Dee. It is fascinating and goes through the lives of some of the most famous killers, such as Aileen Wuornos, Arthur Shawcross, Henry Lee Lucas, John Martin Scripps et cetera.
