Just saves time to be a shitbag and maybe artists don't like to not be themselves so they are more shitty cause they are not as considerate as human beings to their surroundings. The task is so challenging to make masterpieces anyway or good art. Or perhaps a lot of humans are just fuckin' assholes, and great artists are not known for their well balanced behavior. Oh, definitely. To be a top artist, musician, author, poet etc requires a very specific mindset that is very often conducive to antisocial behaviour. I mean, we could literally sit here all day and type out creative people who are the top of their fields who are/were absolute wankers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have visited the Tate Modern and the Van Gogh Museum but wasn't that impressed Im afraid. The Tate was f'n shite to be honest. Stupid shit like a glass of water on a shelf, or a tree branch, or a pile of bricks I'm quite fond of local artists. They're not professional artists but their work is better than a shitey pile of bricks Im sure An artist on my island does something called "Sketch A Day" and sells the original work for £50 every day, or will do a commission for the same price. Obviously it's not to the same standard as a glass of water, but I think these are pretty good:- More pics at https://www.facebook.com/lorrainebruceart/photos/ i like these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
