Actually I pride myself on being a frivolous artist or at the very least whimsical.


Also (re: Aaron) - is it impossible to be an open-source serious artist then?

haha!

 Most people I know trying to do "serious
art" are quite nice and no pretentious. Crazy, definitely, but not
really pretentious.

why do people say their art is 'serious'? why can't it just be 'art'? [or 'work'] why do they need to separate themselves this way? [putting themselves in a 'serious' group. instead of what- a 'frivolous' group? an 'amateur' group?]

isn't this like "women's art"? [which is a better group to be in than
a 'serious' group, but still is a ghetto of some sort]

it seems to me, that by making this distinction there's something else
that's important beside your art: the 'serious' part. maybe i've spent
too much time with the dadists, anarchists, unschooled creative
people, ...

but if anyone on the list has big tits and wants to give me a hug-
lemme know ... [note: humor- not 'serious']
