RE: Thoughts On What Good Content Truly Is Using Real World Examples and A Clear Head
Well... as a gallery owner, I have to tell you that the broader level of cluelessness w.r.t. art is pretty deep. If we had a buck for every person who has walked in here and declared "Oh look! An art shop... my sister took a painting class once; I wonder if she still paints?" we'd not be worried about how we're going to pay the next electric bill.
Art is strange... it's one of those things few people truly appreciate, and yet everyone pretends to be an "expert art critic." Like the couple in the gallery today who looked at some of our prints from Digital originals and declared it "cheating." Meh... whatever.
I still think it's better to have a small dedicated following who truly care about what what you... than pretending to be "popular."
Yes. I once straight up asked in a post, "Is digital art considered cheating." I was met with a few responses from physical artists who in fact think all I do is push a button and apply a filter to something.
The process is different. Still takes a lot of work. Even the graphic artists who use a lot of technology and photograph manipulation still have to be creative and still have to work to come up with their finished product.
I guess I'm what's called an outsider artist. Self taught, don't follow any trends or templates; just doing my own thing. I can only expect an underground type following. Pushing my style on people would be a huge mistake.
