... only 26 artist came through... you know what bothers me about the charity drives is, the people who organize them get someone to pay based on activity. The payment isn't money. The payment is your art. Artists paying for something with their art in my view is the ultimate currency for any artists. And yet, even though I shared this in so many places. Only 26 came through, so only eight boxes. Only eight boxes. That isn't even a classful of children.
And all the bullshit arguments from various artists really come into my mind.
... I don't like deviantart, it is too much porn, I don't like the messages
BULLSHIT
... oh the SEO I need to see a better environment, I am uncomfortable with
BULLSHIT
These charity drives are the only things I do in my art where my art literally pays for the action and it is to a total stranger I will never see or know of personally. And I don't mind at all. I can comprehend issues aiding an adult stranger, but any adult who has issues aiding a stranger child when what they are being asked to do is something they do every day ... I have an issue with that adult... it is the holiday season. In my mind I Was hoping , alot , I was hoping, we artist would break the bank and get a whole big school of children little boxes to brighten their spirit...
Damn
and... so many people I share their artwork, their financial agendas, with no negativity, with hope. I know some of those people saw my charity post and just moved on. Couldn't even share it. Damn...
