artistic karma

I love art. All art. From fine to martial it is my life. I thought about the history classes I took regarding art in college. It was amazing to remember that very few artist received any acclaim during their actual life time. When they died they became popular and almost iconic LOL When among the living they couldn't get a sandwich for free from those very same admirers. Today it's the same. If u do make it, the very first thing one does is forget the community that supported them in favor of personal gratification. Yet the poor fans will die just to get a glimpse of the gaudiness in which this wealth is displayed. They love being abused and ignored. It actually gives the fans bragging rights. Wow Karmic comedy continues.
