Romantic Rebel Man
About the artist
Chauncey (@chaunceychnc) is a stylist, songwriter, mannequin, muse, and good friend. SLZL says, “Chauncey reminds all that the biggest artistic creation we can render is that of the self. His own body is his primary artistic production, the continuously blank page and canvas that he shapes into something new and exciting. All of his other art comes out of the constant self-fashioning and creating he does.”
Chauncey CHNC: “an expressionist with enigmatic and delicate words, with a lyrical style filtering anywhere between lullaby and sticky pop. Often picturing someone trying to escape themselves but ending up face to face with a mirror. As a Libra, the chase of balance and the highs and lows, the lust for perfection, inform the unique perspective of a life led and lived in dualities: the mixture of naïveté and cunning, neediness and self-possession, innocence and eroticism, radiance and damage. In a world where perception is reality, constant yearning for self-reflection to process trauma and monitor growth in hopes to inspire others, to find beauty in the ugliness, life after death, and reality in the surreal.”
You have plenty of ties
Little anchors rotating in your mind
You're not gonna talk down to me
Maybe square off with one of those guys
Complicated pocket squares
Nailing sad girls - somewhere
Forgotten
You become a new boy everyday
Barely meeting job requirements
From now on only dress shirts
Sartorial depression is inexpensive
Tingles down your spine
Suit coats and folds
A romantic rebel man
You become someone new everyday
From now on - let's fix that
In a corner calling
Now you pick up?
New ties usually never require love
Getting squared away- mixing brown and blue
Guesswork-looking for the smartest move
Chenin blanc. Blackout shades.
Oysters at the Hyatt- poppy and patterned
Maybe square off with one of those guys
The suited romantic rebel man
On articulated knees- worn out figures
Dirty but expensive -The coolest detail
We know everything you want
Stretch a tenth or less and transplant a face on another man
Idea awful. Effect profound. You're gonna talk down to me
You have plenty of ties. Little anchors rotating in your mind
Exacted and opinionated- wandering anxiously
Careful preparation. Familiar sensation
Coordinate- a wide brimmed hat
Creative pinstripes and trailblazers
The worst feeling you've ever had
Admit it. You're a little curious
Specific shots- cum drops- dry cleaner
You want, you get, you become
Tacky, sexy and intense
You become someone new everyday
Diving into the pretentious
Seeing God alternatively
Careful preparation. Familiar sensation
Orgasm. Inquire. Explore
Bigots are rarely good in bed
From now on - let's fix that
Sartorial depression is inexpensive
I'll sing you a new song
Dump your girlfriend - and move on
