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']
