 True...and I don't want them deciding what I can and cannot create...So I stay
away from them.
As long as I make a decent living while I'm alive, I could give a rat's arse
whether I get a lucrative contract, sponsor, or grant...
Many good artists weren't well known til after they were dead.
Fame, I don't need...Money, I only need enough to make a living...Screw the
rest.  I'll create what I want, and with what I want...Besides, a good artist can
even make a collage from cow feces :)
