My name is Fatal Noogie. I sign my art Fatal Noogie. If you google "Fatal Noogie" you find my art. That's intentional. For my portfolio presentation class, I've been using my legally-given name on all the documentation but I still use Fatal Noogie to sign all my art work out of habit. My instructor saw an instance of this and told me to take it out. I thought he meant on the image pages so I didn't mind. Later, while looking over my shoulder, he sees that my Artist Statement page says Quote: -[my legal name] aka Fatal Noogie 2012 at the bottom, so he points to it and stammers, "There it is again. Enough with this SH1T." where the whole class can hear it too. I pretended to delete it from the document while he watched and and later went to talk to a counselor, who said that my trying to associate the mention of my art-name with my art could NOT be defended under academic freedom of speech. This feels like being asked to remove a watermark and inscribe "John Doe" on all my stuff. It's worse than art theft, and I would know. I've had my art stollen, digitally, by people who then signed it as their own. At least they didn't ask me to be complicit in it. Consequently, I'm tempted to turn in a portfolio with everything labeled as "Fatal Noogie" with my legal name in sub-notation on the front, and let him choose whether to grade it or flunk me out of spite. I'm not trying to pass the class so I can get an art job or transfer to another school. I'm looking for work in an unrelated sector. I'd just like to have my Associate Art degree after all my efforts, but not the expense of my dignity. How far what would you do to protect your name/identity? _________________ Curiosity is the greatest virtue.

I'd just like to have my Associate Art degree after all my efforts, but not the expense of my dignity. How far what would you do to protect your name/identity? This is terrible. I use my real name and my online alias (skellious) interchangeably a lot of the time. If you google it, you will only find results about me. This is likewise a deliberate choice. I view both names as equally valid to identify me and while I use my legal name out of convention I do not think my university would care if I also added Skellious to all my assignments. I am sorry this is happening to you and, especially because this is art, I would not take this sort of attack on your person. However you potentially stand to lose a lot. One thing I will say is it sounds like you need a better counsellor. Good luck with this whatever you decide to do! Please keep us updated!

She gave me a direct answer: a strict interpretation of my options considering the rules, so I don't blame her. If I can keep my pride hidden for two weeks, I'll get my grade and get my degree. Then then be in the clear, free to promote my work however I see fit. That's the 'sensible' choice to make. It's just hard for me to make it because subjectively, it feels like I'm 'selling-out' before I even step on stage. _________________ Curiosity is the greatest virtue.

I guess what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person do you want to be in the future? Once you figure that out, the path will become clear. Good luck!

We struck a compromise. Today I told my instructor how I consider "Fatal Noogie" to be my name, and why I may want to include it somewhere in the portfolios I give to certain reviewers. Like, for example, if I wanted to join a Muralist association (I have legal mural experience) where aliases are commonly used, or if I try to become a member of a watercolor society, which might want to inspect my paintings after I send them the prints, and then they'll ask why I neglected to mention my signature in the first place. Or if I apply to be a featured artist at temporary gallery shows, and the curator may find my alias more catchy for publicity purposes. That's actually happened before: I got featured at a hip-hop show as "Fatal Noogie". So he said that while he doesn't think the name helps, he'll allow me to mention and explain it in my Artist Statement if it doesn't break the continuity of the writing. And I agreed that I would still label the heading for every page with my legal name. It's his first time teaching this class, so he's realizing he has to compromise on his rigid expectations for what's gradable, or nobody will get credit for anything. Now, if for ex. we have problems scaling between rendering applications and one print gets 1/16 inch off, he tells us we did it wrong, but he no longer says it's un-gradable. _________________ Curiosity is the greatest virtue.

Professors get power and it goes to their head. I had to deal with a woman, a senior, who got married before her senior year. She legally changed her name, but she had so many things linked to her email account, she decided to just keep her username and email which was her maiden name. She had a professor who refused to accept any assignments from her because her university email did not match her name on the roster. Back to top
