PLAYERS.

INFLUENCERS.

MANIPULATORS.

PRETENDERS.

SCHEMERS.

P.I.M.P.S

CHOOSE ART INSTEAD.

BUT BEWARE... COLLECTORS ARE WATCHING YOU.

ALWAYS REMEMBER...

YOU ARE NOTHING MORE THAN "THEIR" SCAFFOLDING...

BUT FUCK THEM... CHOOSE YOU.

...

For example:

"Taking a moment to point out this whole "work hard" / BUIDL / PUSH! mentality that people are trying to awkwardly import from the corporate overlord world and shoehorn into the artistic process

And the subtle way theyre trying to make that into religion in the space...

I dont like seeing it.

It might take a long time for something proper to congeal. Or whatever your process might be

What makes art art? The delightfully unanswerable question

"Im working harder than you" implied virtue signaling is whack sauce...

Sometimes you need to chill the fk out, go for a walk, take a month to do jack shit, go to a new museum, or stumble into a new popup that turns your world upside down. Inspiration can come from anywhere, and often in my experience from unexpected IRL tings...

These "self-help world" transplants who are trying to build their brands mixing 2010 business jargon to tell you how to be a better artist are caricatures

As are books on "process"

Humans are funny. Who knew that the intersection of art & money & gambling would be so insane...
