Art is all about becoming a name, a brand; it isn't based on talent or creativity.
It was easy to leave the art world after I found out that it was just another corporation. When they told me I had to create the same thing, I rebelled.
I'm fully aware had I stayed with my art, I would be well known, respected and most likely rich.
The galleries are simply corporations in the art world - "Here's a million dollars for this latest piece of crap" - but I'm not about to go along with the gallery system.
