A couple updates...

OCAD has very narrow minded views of good art in my opinion so now I'm doing whatever the hell I damn well want this year as it is my last. Traditional subject matter is no longer valid according to this 'intelligent' minds but I've always thought they were wrong and now I'm going to do what I am proud of and makes me content. None of this philosophical and doesn't-make-sense crap by thesis students who STILL do not know how to paint or draw.

Luckily I have other interests besides painting. OCAD has destroyed my passion for visual arts, so don't keep asking why I didn't take thesis. Why waste my breath preparing essays and giving talks about being in galleries - the system is terrible and I want no part of it. Give me my damn piece of paper and be gone.

When you have nothing else going for you but some minor drawing skills go to art school... just like everyone else.

This is a good reason to hate the art world: [link]
