I have never had an art class in my life. Maybe I should have taken one but I never believed art was learned through textbooks. Anyway, it wasn’t until I started this blog did I really appreciate art that was not easily interpreted or easily recognizable. I alway found commercial art to be “more” art cause I mean, you draw a cat and it looks like a cat, it’s a friggin cat, but after meeting some artists and doing some more reading about it on the internet, learning about artists’ lives etc., I have really grown an appreciation for all types of art and artists.
I studied business in college and I think that’s partly why I’ve always felt the way I did about art. I guess I always figured it’s never TRULY art unless someone wants to buy it. I’m pretty sure life has got to be hard for an artist but when your art is appreciated, I’m sure it’s fucking sweet.
