Cause they almost always end up letting you down. That's actually a lie, I'm really saying that more on hearsay and social standards than actual experience. I have never looked up to the people that have hurt me... and maybe that was the problem. Whatever the case, a lot of artists to disappoint me.
I have messages behind my art, or at very least, I have an idea. Be it "Save the Children" or "George W. Is Teh Dumbzorz" I always try to have something I'm saying. That's why I'm doing the art in the first place... to say something. Maybe that's cause I started as a comic artist, or because I write and speak so eloquently. I am just used to passing information and feeling with my actions... not just doing something to be pretty.
Sadly, most artists do art only because it's pretty. They paint pictures and do things because they do it well. Which I can't complain about... since that's why I wrote and spoke for such a long time. But my best work was done when it had a message. I just don't enjoy the art as much when I don't have a point to it.
Oh well. I'm going to go paint someone playing the world's smallest violin for me.
