Like, not to harp on this, but just because you don't see the "value" in a piece of art or don't think it's "technically beautiful enough" to be acclaimed or don't want to interact with it because the function it's serving isn't something you're interested in doesn't mean that it just. Doesn't deserve to exist.

#by these standards we'd have to bar most amateur art. and that is NOT a road I want to go down. like imagine trying to #rob someone of participating in one of the richest and most fulfilling human experiences because of YOUR standards.#'oh I'm not talking about amateur art I'm talking about stuff that gets popular/famous' as if amateur artists don't get #discovered or go viral or get a random cultural wave of popularity all the time #there is no amount of gatekeeping that will keep art you think is 'talentless' or 'effortless' from seeping into the professional world #so maybe like. we should all chill out a little bit.#okay. I'm done now.#the good news is that this reminded me that any art I do is for myself and it doesn't have to be Technically Perfect #so thank you to the modern art haters I guess
