When People Get Back to Art

Notorious for not paying anything

Gnome Elf Painting Frog on Mushroom

Yesterday I listened to this whole interview with Lol Creme (11cc). It’s over a decade old (I saw a more recent one, weeks old) and was uploaded 2 months ago. In it, Creme explained that his true passion was art and jotting down all sorts of things like that. Kevin’s also. So music was only a second passion to them, yet the one they practiced and made the most of… as artists (it also made them rich).

I recently spent a lot more time drawing. I didn’t use paint, it’s more like pen and pencil art (sketches) – the sorts of things I did a lot as a child.

Sometimes I wonder if one day I’ll “get back to that” proper; slop does not worry me as people generally have a negative sentiment towards slop and don’t consider it to be art.

Society seems to not try to teach art to young people anymore. It’s not “industry”.
