SO everyone else here is just a looser?

Let's all have a Loser Party! ^^

Ill bring the beer!

Don't you have some dogs to fuck?

Don't be jealous, just 'cause you'll never get in my pants.

but how do you know i'm not a dog?

Even if you were, with a monkey as your icon, I am the most unhorny I will ever be. >_>

racism is not cool

NO U. D:<

Hmm well then..I suppose that means i'm on my Way to being an artist :: shrugs:: Bah to da book ^^

*gasps*

HEATHEN!

D:<

Eeep! You've figured me out! <,< >,>

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

I do I do I do! It's the Dustbunny inquisition no one suspects!

That's what I'm trying to tell everyone! =3
I'M A HOBBYIEST! X3
I'll never get to be a real artist without an official piece of paper! ^_^
(if you look at my drawings, you know it'll be a long time before I get such a paper) ;)

Man i sure hope that was a joke...

we call ourselves artists because we do art, yes its a hobby thing but if you go up to someone "hi im a hobbyist" thats likes saying "hi i like to breath occasionally" its so vague. all that this really proves is there are furs out there who wanna act like the "elites" of the fandom and wave around a paper saying "look it went to art school" while looking down their noses at everyone else, so the hell what i took tons of art classes back in highschool we did life drawing and various things but that doesn't entitle me to be stuck up and think im better than everyone.

Just in case you and everyone else didn't know. this was a mockery of http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/162261/ THIS person. Who believes you need to be CERTIFIED to be considered an artist.

What the heck is a hobbyiest? Is that like a poltergiest or something?

>.>.... I'm heading off to college for art anyways... so... I laugh at joo!!! lol JK You are an artist no matter what peeps say or what form of art it is... but it is true that I'm heading to college for art. o_o;;

Fuck the arts handbook up it's stupid ass.
I've been educated in it. I teach it. I really don't make money from it.
I guess I am not an artist. :p

I know for a fact that the majority of truly great artists weren't professionaly schooled in art.

Where's my damn shotgun... I'mma goin' huntn' for pricks!


Sorry... I have 2's mentality when people make up some lame ass exscuse to go; "na-na na-na-na... I'm a (blank) because I've got a degree... You can't be a (blank) because your weren't 'taught' how to... and if your weren't taught how to do something then you couldn't possibly know anything about it."

Well I've got news for you FUCKTARD!!!

*!!!BLAM!!!*

"SMASH YOU WITH A ROCK!"



The exact same shit happens in the fabrication business... "Oh, well you have to have been an apprentice for um-teen years before anyone will think you have ANY skill in metal work." Well fuck you, I can make parts at 1,000th of an inch from the original spec!!! How many engineers do you know that can do that!?!? I constantly showed up my instructor during my college time... making parts closer to spec than ANYONE in the class. Coarse I had a smug attitude about it off the bat because he laughed when I said I could do it on the first try... But I did it! Proved him wrong... 13 years as a mechanical engineering instructor... and I proved him WRONG.

Just goes to show... If you want to put yourself on the pedistol by making lame ass rules... Be prepared to be bitch slapped, and proven horribly incorrect.

Well i guess i don't have to worry then i use to make very good money doing art while attending art class at school. beside your so called art book blows monkey chunks you are an artist if you create art for yourself and anyone else that may appreicate it.

I don't care what the handbook says *burns handbook* I have an artistic mind, it's not paid, lol

RE: Certification
A little true story about a woman who never got her PhD -- so snobby professors said that she couldn't really be a scientist. So Gertrude Elion went to work for a pharmaceutical company since there was no future for her in academia without the PhD union card. She created the first rationally designed (not discovered) drug - allopurinol - cured my gout - and won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine.

I prefer operational definitions:
If you know how to build a hydrogen bomb, you are a thermonuclear physicist, with or without the wallpaper. A five mile diameter fireball speaks for itself.
If you know how to create art that moves people (including yourself emotionally, you are an artist, with or without the wallpaper. The viewers' laughing, crying, and hardons speak for themselves just as eloquently.

exactly. Well put ~_^
