It takes a ton of character and bravery to do and make art, discuss the things people aren't willing to discuss. If you're pushing the envelope of what society considers "allowable", you may face some censorship, or, in my case, completely banned from the internet. It doesn't make me LESS of an artist that I have so few followers, but actually more. If you keep making art while the system does everything it can to completely silence you, that is at the heart of what it means to make art.

Anyone can, for example, become an artistan candle maker. I knew one, this chick, she made all sorts of beeswax candles in shapes of pinecones, lotus flowers, little people, and many other shapes. She was known as a really good artist, but she felt like she wasn't making art because nobody ever thought any deeper about her art other than the 2-3 seconds to like the visual appeal of her candles. She made Thousands of dollars every weekend selling her handles and had fancy restaurants ordering from her, but she lost the desire to really make her art.

Why? Because it had no meaning to her. It didn't make anyone think.

That's where art becomes special, when you're doing things and harnessing feelings and thoughts and making it into something for other people to digest in a way that only art can do. Take an ideal, a thought, a situation and tell that story wrapped in another medium. This is what I do in my art, my 3 books, the videos I put out, some serious, some silly. It is deeply rewarding for me to make art and be an artist, some true self-actualization has occurred in my life.

Now, as I observe the things you post and the attitude you have, it is so painfully obvious that you don't have that same level of satisfaction of the output of YOUR life, which is why you attack me. If you could do anything with that million+ in the bank that gave you that feeling of self-actualization, you'd jump on it. Instead, you waste your time attacking "maga" people, hatin' on real men actually living life to the max like myself, and posting your vitriol on an adult forum when you could be doing something with your life.

Why don't you take some of that 1+ million dollars out of the bank and, you know, do something useful, meaningful, and truly soulful with that money? If you can, of course...

Im not reading that. Lets see some of your art and then I'll show you the medieval replicas I make and paint during my free time.
