>>4490769I find the nepotistic art and fashion world to be a disgusting astroturfed propaganda op by a few billionaires and that everything pays better than sucking their cocks unless you’re basically their third cousin or make yourself useful to their astroturfed social engineering attempts.
This isnt new or unique to any one tribe. Artists have always either been whores or poors and good art is prescribed, not recognized. All art promotion is inherently some form of propaganda. It is this that makes it worth paying for to the greedy psychopaths who have always ran every society going back to anatolian farmers. You will never find a supposed master who did not have greater clients (or that didnt suck in some way) and you will struggle to find all the equally talented people who simply didnt - their works are being shown in goodwill despite being every bit as good as shit in the louvre. Don’t quit your day job.
Success in art, and being an artist, are different things. They call it an industry and a market for a reason.
