Not to write a scathing article...well, that too. But to pick up a pad and pen and get to drawing. To paint with the blood, sweat and tears of the talent God has given me.<BR/><BR/>I love being an artist!Michael McMullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011812633205024739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573548.post-1162601972096187872006-11-03T16:59:00.000-08:002006-11-03T16:59:00.000-08:00I think one of the problems is that art has become...I think one of the problems is that art has become so fashionable and reachable. Media has innundated us with it and it rarely lasts or deserves to. It takes quite a bit to come up with something good, so in order to keep the "programming" full, whether it be radio, tv, internet or otherwise, it becomes a big task. So a lot of quick copy art ends up posing as art, even being presented as "good". It's not and many know it. Part of the problem is the population buying it doesn't know any better. They are usually pre-teens, you can't blame them. Why do they have so much money? Part of the solution is to be critical (without being overtly negative), why is it bad art? If we can explain ourselves clearly, then we show we get it and we help others "get it". The other solution is creating something really good, that's even more difficult.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18264591553582198976noreply@blogger.com
