   Go ahead folks, hone those skills. Piss your time away. Just don’t bitch at me when someone whose work you abhor nabs all those juicy grants.

   I’m sure some skill can’t hurt either.
   Just more negativity, fear uncertainty and doubt from another young crumudgen, eh?

   Okay, context. You demanded it, so:

   As part of my duties, I get to see lots and lots of kiddies making art. Some of it’s good, some of it’s horrible, most of it’s half-assed.

   Something that I’ve noticed however, is a tendency to just accept that if you’re really good, you will succeed. No need to learn about business, no need to even be able to explain how you got to where you are. Just be really good, and the critical world will find you, and give you lots and lots of money.

   And how do you get really good? By emulating what’s really good. Hone your skills, paint like Hockney. Hone your skills, make photographs like Wall. Hone your skills, draw like Dzama.

   Study hard, follow procedure as outlined by curriculum, and you will be an Art Star. Hone hone hone!

   Oh, and that really amazing shit you’re doing in your sketchbook and not showing your teachers –ignore that, it’s stupid. We’ve got people to impress.

   –Not that there’s anything wrong with emulating, don’t start. It’s that there’s “Right!” and “Wrong!” things to be into.

   Shudder.

   I’m going to take the piss some more here and suggest that you write at least 200 words about it!

   Persist.
   Persist.
   Persist.
   Swear to the Big Magnet. I believe that.
   And by the way, Marko - KIT says THIS is the subject matter you should be writing about.
   Kit - doesn’t give anything away for free, honey…
   Never mind N–D and E–D and all the other “d” ending places. Do what matters. Eventually someone will give a shit AND pay you. But only if you do what matters to you and don’t stop to look back or buy the hype.
