Regular People and The Art World

     I make and sell my art.
     I sell to people that buy my art because they like it.

     An art teacher saw my work, and he was very nice.  He said my paintings were unfinished. 
     I agreed with him, but said, "Yeah, but people like them that way."

     All I know is that there is how regular people see art, and how the art world sees art.

     Regular people cough up the cash, though, so what do I care?

     The teacher talked his smack, but didn't buy anything.

     People who talk too much usually don't buy my art. 
     If a person is talking, it usually means I won't get a sale.

     I would love to please both the critics and the public at the same time, but sometimes that is impossible.
     It is like playing an online game and making a video at the same time.  It can't be done.  It is either one or the other.

     Critics don't cough up the cash, which is one reason not to like them.  Sometimes, to be fair, they do give good advice,  but I am trying to pay rent here, dude.
