Hmm. I only recently ever started pondering anything that was in Urban Outfitters, but I suppose I’ll look elsewhere now.
Ugh. You know. I meet so many “artists” who are blatantly unaware of the things surrounding them. All of their art is masturbatory or is self loathing in a way that is only about their self loathing and NOT about connecting with people through their self loathing. Does this make sense?
I’m just sick of seeing artists (this includes all art media…film, painting, etc) who just want to show themselves off.
Quit making self portraits that don’t say anything. Quit writing shorts/scripts that are mediocre with the sole purpose of showing yourself off. (I will say if you make a beautiful self portrait or a non mediocre short or sketch - awesome! But otherwise… )
Don’t you see there are issues here? What happened to art that speaks to issues and people? There are some pieces of art I like that are just funny - but even that can speak to people in a way.
I guess what I’m saying is that I’VE MET TOO MANY “ARTISTS” WHO ARE LAME/MEDIOCRE AND WHO ONLY FOCUS ON THEMSELVES.
“This is a self portrait of me that looks like all the other self portraits of me and everything in my life sucks.” Or something.
I’m about to start my period. What a rant.
