Artist reduced to manual laborer . . . yeah, sounds like fecking bliss to me. What next? Selling tickets to watch a writer type a book that will be given away for free at the end of the session? Should I give up on selling my paintings and just charge people to see me make them? "Artist" does not always equal "performer" Devalue originality and it will disappear. ------------- Brian "balistic" Prince http://www.bprince.com - art and techno Strokes of Defiance EP . . . soon. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
