From what I have been seeing around and about Shmeng, it seems the majority of people here seem to fine a center point/equilibrium with their surroundings. I must inform I am not one such person, I am angry, young, liberal, and see everything "black or white!". This is not helpful in every situation so I do try to adapt myself accordingly. I have been always taught by myself and teachers/peers to protect the arts with a "big fucking ice pick". Art today is experimental, and who knows where it will be in years to come. The National Endowment (he he) for the Arts, is well... pathetic. Pressure from people to end this funding, and criticizing from the general public (who for the most part do not understand the arts) scare me. I create art, and I am just the apex comprehending it's profoundness, so when any critique on the art world as a whole is made, good or bad, I attack; because it is a general statement that damns the masses, but I do how ever support critiquing an individual artist. This is healthy and with help that person evolve as a human and a artist. So I apologize disemboweled you all, and left your bodies to rot in sun. The public is important for the art, because society directly influences it. If everyone looks at Thomas Kinkade (also known as the Anti-Christ) and believes that is what art today is, and what it should be, then my generation of artists are damned to a long "nostalgic fuzzy warm old town painting" hell. I know not all art is not sincere; even Picasso pulled some bullshit before he died by making "Picassos!" (images he was know for) instead of art. There is no true way of telling that any art is sincere, unless you are the artist. The art that an artist shows you is for your intellect and enjoyment, (appreciate that) but I beg that you only challenge the artist instead of the art world necessary . On another note; next time I post I'll make sure I am not on the "male rag" like I was the first time. If my thoughts are too feeble to post here then I will move on from Shmeng, let me know. I apologize and thank you for reading my babble.
