The Gore Manifesto
Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009 by Nos
This world is bleak.
There are several things that can account for the state of things but in the end, we are here because hardly anyone is honest with themselves anymore. Most people are just one giant ball of repression and self hate.
Believe me, I’ve been there.

And then somewhere around 16 I let go of that junk. I became honest with myself and who I really was. It’s still a daily practice but 9 times out of 10, I really do love myself. There are a few people who are really intimidated by that and I find that really sad. You are the only one who wakes up with yourself and will die with yourself for certain. You better learn to love yourself while you’re at it.
And it’s with this mentality that I began to relish in taking gory/fucked up photos of myself. In time the photos turned into more traditional fetish work but I like to think they always held their own creepy undertone. To this day I still engage in many blood soaked sets. (Note the brand new ones I’m sharing in this post!)
Modeling has always been a positive experience for me. I didn’t get into this to impress anyone. I didn’t starve myself. I never felt “ugly” or “unwanted”. I know many men/women who have done all of the above and much worse. They are very unhappy with themselves and their careers. – And that’s no way to be.

So cut it out!
Sometimes life is as simple as covering yourself in red liquid and standing in front of a camera. – That’s the Gore Manifesto!
Get out there and find something that makes you feel alive and never give it up. Challenge yourself and embrace who you are.
Then report back to me.
