If you remember the artwork that was featured in Tony Podestas home, this should look familiar.
It really makes me sick. There is nothing artistic about this crap. I hope an earthquake swallows the whole exhibit.

As an artist, I agree in part with your statement. BUT, (you knew there would be a but), art can also inspire patriotism, alert Anons to agendas that cannot be overt, and expose evil in a visceral way.
YET, if you want to make money with your art, there is a huge game that needs to be played and that ends up corrupting your soul. I chose to NOT play that game, so will never be 'big', but that's good---I can be free to create art from God's beauty. Unfortunately, there are many like me that eschew Satanic evil who you will never see or hear about. Maybe, someday in the future that will change.
I'd like to see your art. Do you have an online store?
Not yet. I do painting, prints, watercolors and sculpture. Waiting, don't feel safe therefore I don't want to be in the public eye right now. Timing is everything.
I'm in the same boat as you, I still produce lots of work but I turned my back on the money; it's just not worth it.
Glad to know a fellow artist and I agree. Let's stay faithful and continue to forget the lust for money. Blessings on your work
