Good comments on both sides. I appreciate it! Just be sure to keep it civil.

Speaking of civil, you both should be sure to come to the inaugural Art Happy Hour! in February.

“vicious cycle of artist persecution”
Woa there boy. That is the kind of defeatist thinking that has crippled Artists of color and allowed them to continue to be ignored by the “other” artists.
The “Condoization” of artists communities is about to go bust. Historically the same cycle over and over again; what Artists need to do is recognize that they are a “constituency” and they need to participate in representative government. “Burn down City Hall” if you have to! The whole nation wide economic collapse we are seeing will give those of us willing to organize politically a great opportunity to change the way things are. But Shea you need to curb your negative mindset and think like us Artists of Color; it is so bad now, anything will be better. Peace.

Yes. Truth. Arist’s have always been cursed and always will be. I believe it’s because everyone is jealous of artist’s who are not. They want to persecute those that see, those that perhaps have some knowledge they do not understand, out of jealously, put the artists in the crap hole in town and when it blossoms and is nice again, run the artist’s out, always keeping them on the bottom of the social latter, made fun of etc, and the real reason is, is that non artist’s hate artist’s because they think that artist’s have some kind of power, vision, knowledge, that they do not have access to, whether this is true or not I know not, but this is what I think that causes the vicious cycle of artist persecution
