Stuckism 

The abstract noun referring to the ideas and actions of the Stuckists art movement, founded in London by Charles Thomson and Billy Childish in 1999. Childish left in 2001. The term "Stuckism" was coined by Thomson, after he had heard a poem by Childish, who quoted his former lover Tracey Emin's insult that he was "stuck" for continuing to paint pictures, while Emin had moved on to conceptual art.

Stuckism in turn led to the natural derivations of Stuckist and Stuckists as self-adopted labels for those in the Stuckism movement.

Stuckism is defined by manifestos written by Childish and Thomson. It advocates contemporary figurative painting and opposes conceptual art as not real art or anti-art. The Stuckists say they are anti-anti-art.

Stuckism is associated with annual demonstrations carried out by the Stuckist artists against the Tate gallery's Turner Prize.

Stuckism has spread widely through it's web site, www.stuckism.com and in 2010 numbered over 2000 groups in 48 countries.
The guiding principles of Stuckism, as outlined in the group’s manifesto, include "Painting is the medium of self-discovery"; "Artists who don’t paint aren’t artists"; and "Art that has to be in a gallery to be art isn’t art". (Susan Mansfield, The Scotsman, 28 September 2004.)

Stickism 

Stickism is the practice of hailing Stick God after our universe fell from the Holy Tree. Stick God saved our universe(leaf). Along with Stick God, Hehes fell on our leaf(universe), you will be taught the holy ways of Stickism. Stick God created you as well as everything on Earth. Stick God blesses us every day, so we should bless him as well. Stick God is the father of all the Earth Gods. A rough estimation states that there are four branch gods on the tree, four stick gods to each branch, and four twig gods for every stick. Each twig god has control over four leaves/universes. However, at one point, our universe fell from the tree. This would meant that we would be destroyed, but Stick God and his four twig gods fell after us, which knocked creatures called Hehe worms from their own universe. Stick God and the four twig gods landed on the world, allowing it to remain, suspended between the sky and cold ground. Stick God then created the Three Stick Cultists, to spread the word of how he saved our world from destruction. To hail Stick God you must hit your chest, then your head, and then raise your bent finger to the sky, showing Stick God your devotion. If you wish to become a priest of Stick God, it is recommended that you sacrifice some of yourself or another in the name of Stick. As the great cultists said,"Sacarafices must be made!"
