ARTIST=OPINION.

artist is merely opinion, you can go to school and earn the titles... and you may not consider yourself an artist, or it can be the opposite, in my expierience with schooling they never taught me anything i didnt know or couldnt find out by myself. all they did was give me a reason to work because my grades were dependant. but grades dont make art, people do. in my opinion i consider myself an artist, so therefore to me i think therefore i am. if i believe im batman then god damn i'm batman, because i believe it. artist isnt an occupational title alone, its a lifestyle and im damn certain i never went to school to learn how to live.
im sure most all of you have read the idiocracy proposed in the recent epic journal. pro or con to what he says theyre all missing it. theyre are all correct in their replies because they believe so, if you believe you are right, you are. but nobody truly KNOWS anything because nothing in this universe has irrefutable proof of its truth, just like i dont know the truth of anything i am speaking because its all one damn opinion that is mine and mine alone. but unfortunately the confidence and pomposity of opinions are shaping what everyone is accepting as truth. true knowledge exists in simply understanding that you know nothing, nothing in my opinion aside from what you personally accept as what you know and not merely believe. understand?

Or is it...
You think just like me...
Depends on which way you look at it.
But the Tomfoolery has really gotten out of hand with this whole dumb topic. It was funny looking at the artistic shift throughout FA that poked so much fun. Like the blue sketches and the certified labels everywhere. And I know I gave in to the comedy but my avatar works just as well as others.
In reality, if that guy wants to live in a cloud of self worship for himself and his work. Well fine, but I'll still have a good chuckle when no one commissions him and his site goes down due to loss of funds. In my opinion we all had a good laugh and really there isn't much else we can do nor discuss, because frankly, it doesn't matter.
