I want to create real art and provoke thought and evoke emotion while creating fly looking shyt aesthetically but how can u do that in a racism capitalistic system? when u have no power or resources?

my cousin who I love but have a bedwench mentality is like "you have to do it their way and just make money""just do whatever u have to to get paid" man im a fukking artist not some backpage escort looking to suck old fat white guy dikk for 100 dollars an hour for a new bag. these hipster trust fund fakkits in NYC control the scene because mom and dad gave them the money to play artist and these are the people I have to fit in with?

How the fukk am I'm going to do that? I'm a angry, bitter black man thats intelligent and highly gifted talking about topics they cant comprehend. these motherfukkers are creating bullshyt like flowers and patterns and im talking about black children sitting on a plate being devoured by a bloody beast with a fork and knife. black child surrounded by bloody demons and angels guarding because while they're reading and expanding their minds. I'm suppose to work 9 to 5 for some sheltered hipster kid just to play rent? in what sane world does that even make sense?

how am I going to fit in? what the fukk are we going to talk about? I'am i a total anomaly that dont fit a box. Im artistic, rational and irrational, smart and dumb, angry and polite, arrogant and humble, racist and tolerate, misogynist and love woman, hate people but love people. I was born with an obvious brain deformity so how can I function in any environment?

A guy like me needs freedom to be me. If i could do me I could change alot of things. But race , social class and economics turn me into a sad shell of what im truly capable of

I have a serious question

How long does it take you to complete one project. How much time do you spend a day on your art if it takes longer.I know you do a couple different things but I'm curious
at this point its second nature.....

i know shyt out lighting fast...it depends....when im in the zone I can knock out digital art in less than a hour...even hand drawings in a few

but when im free to create the shyt i want to create i can really create explosive shyt...filled with colors, styles metaphors all in one....

but thanks to capitalism i gotta be somebodies bytch....gotta beg hipster kids and corporate fukking zombies for jobs and shyt....a guy like me dont belong in a corporation

Are your threads even serious anymore?
very serious but they're for a select type of thinker no offensive...only certain ppl are going to get this shyt...alotta coli members day consist of pornhub, love and hiphop, worldstar nikka fights and trap music

so this shyt is going to sound weird or crazy more than likely

its all good tho...i understand that type of thing tho...its no big deal

While I hesitate to "defend" capitalism, I think that it's only in this economic system where art has any value :manny:

Thanks for answering.

While your threads are too over the top I get what you are saying,but many people, including myself have to work to make money in order to fund our passions or you know, a place to live where you can have your own set up, your own comfortable spot to create.

If you're making your stuff that fast, how the hell cant you at least work 35 hours a week, come home and knock out a project. And if you have something that takes longer you're just gonna have to split your work. Can't tell you how many times my old team had to split songs in days and shyt because we had priorities

Also an added bonus. Is stepping out of your comfort zone and having a job you hate could give you a different type of inspiration

It's called grinding. Some of the most successful people out here didn't sleep for years.

There are single moms who work 2 jobs and go to school. They make it happen. Can you?
