Everyone thinks their work is the best, every one of their scribbles has some deep hidden meaning behind it, and they all think so highly of themselves, I seriously couldn't stand being around most artists and soon-to-be artists.
I just wanted to create art that's enjoyable to look at, something that people see and say, "wow, that's kind of cool."
That's what art should be in my opinion, it should be something that people want to look at, even if the subject may be bad or morbid or something, but you can tell that a lot of time and effort went into it and people find it impressive, that's art to me.
Most "modern art" is garbage in my opinion. Anyone can draw on a 3rd grade level, or spit on their bathroom mirror and pee in the shower and call it art, and make up twenty hidden meanings behind it.
I can't stand this kind of "art," or most modern art, where you're supposed to see some stupid hidden meaning behind everything without which the "artwork" can't even be enjoyed.
When you ask what it's supposed to be or say that you do not really like it, the artist or some self-proclaimed art expert looks at you like they're better than you and explain all this garbage about why it's "good" and how you just don't understand "art."
Ugghhhh.

I kind of miss being creative though.
