What ever the case, these artists produce some excellent work. I believe that there are lessons to be learn't here.
Whether we like or not, people WILL start comparing and asking 'what it is that I am paying for at prices ranging in the thousands'. They WILL start asking for credentials and a few months of study with Mr.so and so will not cut the mustard any more.
Let us be realistic here, what ever we may think, these young artists are producing paintings from photos. They are nut just copying a photo, as is the favorite pastime of today.
It speaks to me that I, I must hone my skills if I am to stay in the game, otherwise hit the road Jack or Jill. Or maybe my answer will be to rely on my marketing skills and not care about my level of skill. Or should I just slap paint around and call it art and then let marketing fret the rest.
Com on people. We need to wake up. Our skills must prove to be the best and better than the average Joe. If not one can find them selves at the sup kitchen down the street.
