I want to be a real artist but in order to survive I have to compromise my soul thanks to capitalism

The issue is, art is the most subjective entity out here, more than music, more than anything considered creative.

If you're not a good musician, people will know, if you're not a good dancer, people can tell.

But with art, people have different tastes, some people like the photorealism, some people like surrealism, some people like landscapes, others like still lifes, some people like abstract expressionism, some people like impressionism. Some people like Warhol, others like Basquiat. It's about networking and putting your stuff out there constantly, entering art festivals, participating in 1st Fridays. OP can put some of his work in a small shop on consignment. Like other posters have suggested, OP can get a job in the art field, while still working on his art.

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

Perhaps the best advice anyone will ever give you is that. NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR BULLSHYT.

Not your future girlfriends

Not your family

Not your friends

They all care that you can handle your bullshyt though which you can't. You are a flawed individual who wants the world to ego stroke your genius and it won't happen. Your individuality is not a currensy worth shyt in this world unless you can do something with it. Speaking of your greatness is not great. Love isn't uncoditional. Learn to love yourself and you will find love in others. And by love I don't mean delusions of grandeur... NO one will validate your inflated ego.

As long as you don't make any changes your sorry existence continues.. You live in a very delusional self made prison of the mind. Trapping yourself in very negative thought patterns. You also express a huge sense of entitlement towards women and the world in general. NO one owes you anything. You get what you deserve fam and you haven't earned shyt.

JUST STOP BYTCHING MAN


AND CUT THE EXCUSES

Miles Davis was a biter and very honest black man, an artist and a genius with such talent that it was undeniable. Even as hostile as he was towards cacs they had to let the brother live because his music and genius was that great. I doubt MIles ever called himself one though or spent days bytching about cacs holding him back. He took their money and spoke his mind. change your perspective and do not call yourself a fukking genius
