I just read this on your DopeFiend site... "Everyone has a friend who calls themselves an “artist.†Truth is, you are not an authentic artist unless your work is hanging on a wall, for all the free world to see. That’s it. That is the one key factor that defines a real artist."

You're kidding me, right?

that's a fairly ridiculous statement

"i had a show at the coffee shop down the street"

yeah you and 5 billion other fucking chumps

whatever, over 'art', so later'd right now.

artists are dead!

Can't you see girl that your mom's trying to end this?"

Artists live forever

[ok]

luckily artists are not dead. otherwise this would be a shitty place to live. what matters is how one person responds to someone's art-even if it is on a tshirt. true-having a t in a good store means one buyer liked the shirt. however, if you are getting respect for putting someone elses stuff on your shirt and sewing in your tag-that is bullshit.

most of you probobly dont love brittany spears but she is all over the goddamn place. does that mean her stuff is really good? i would argue no. and this also relates to this tshirt argument because she didnt make her shit anyway.

i think i just changed my own mind. do something unoriginal and get some really good publicity and your the fucking man/woman. buy yourself a cliche benz while your on top. and who is to blame? look in the mirror. the consumer who eats this bullshit up. dont make me mention von dutch again. i mean this all started with some guy who really thought this stuff was good. i take quality customers in smaller quantities and keep my cred.

do musicians hang their work on the wall, writers? etc etc etc?...they are obviously masters in the art of hype.

[illfingers]

dudes,

that was one article, written by one author, one person's opinion. art is so subjective, you can argue forever about it.
