In this opinion, a lot of people who are not artists are also afs-hose. A lot. Artists are out there and available for criticism.

Artists in this opinion almost have to be some form of malcontent; not quietly happy or at best, resigned to go to the mine, 7-11, assembly line, office or whatever, and "produce basically nothing" every effing day of their adult lives.

They need to create something bigger than their "real job" and that need can be agitated by the existing and concurrent realities of their lives.

And sometimes artists look at the great lowing herds and wonder why more of them are not artists. After all, what the eff are they doing in/with their lives? Nowadays, watching TV....

And in tis opinion, artist are born, inspired and sometimes self-created.
