The whole project is, ultimately about finding balance in my art. Looking at the imbalance in the art world as well as in my own perceptions has helped me to embrace participation rather than rock-throwing. The piece that you quoted above felt great to write, but it is far from a conclusion. I actually like Tobias Wong's work. It's like stand up comedy. It deserves it's place in the art world. When I was in art school way back in 1986 I thought of making braille bumper stickers that said "If you can read this, you are too close.". Then I chuckled and kept working on my painting skills. Seems like that was a fork in the road for me. If I went ahead with the bumper sticker idea I may have saved myself a lot of grief trying to be taken seriously as an artist for the last 20 years. Then again, I'd probably suck at drawing & that would be lame. Cheers - Tim Thanks for the words of support, Bobby.

It pisses me off to no end when an artist's "intentions" are questioned. I prefer commercial art sometimes because of that. With commercial art the same cumbersome attachments don't have to encumber the artist. However I personally feel that the experience of creating the piece of art, whether fine or commercial is the deepest and most meaningful part that cannot properly be explained to say...an art critique. I'm going to check out the show and book. Ha…loved that diatribe. It pisses me off to no end when an artist’s “intentions” are questioned. I prefer commercial art sometimes because of that.
