Ok. The title is : The Artist : Why sometimes they are A**holes?
It says "sometimes" not all the time. I think That all humans are assholes at least once in their life. An It's o.k. nobody is perfect. This is not a mean intended post. I swear. I just want to debate about this "DAMNED ARTIST CLICHE" I want to know about artists obnoxious compulsive behaviors. Sometimes perceived as anti-social. The madness. How much is true how much is a myth. Creativity and all that.
I mean no offense to anyone. I was not thinking of the close nit network of contemporary Tiki Artist. I am talking about artists in general, if you have some examples, that's great. I want to know stories and details about my favorite classic modern tiki artists...
Paul Klee
Tristan Tzara
Big Daddy Roth
Edgar Leetag
James Michener
Miguel Covarrubias
etc...
The revivalists too! But they are still alive... (we will have to wait for their unofficial biographies.)

Don't take this too seriously. I am just really interested in the subject since I consider myself some kind of cartoonist/artist and since I often display symptoms of the characteristic eccentric asshole artist behavior... Many times I am not really being an A-hole, I am just being misunderstood. (Like right here)
A-L-O-H-A-!

BE RESPECTFUL!

IF YOU STILL THINK THIS TOPIC IS WRONG. USE THE U-MODERATE POWER AND SEND IT DIRECTLY TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BILGE. I WON'T TAKE OFFENSE.
