I have always had this not so secret desire to be thought of as an artist. I've endured being around (and dating a few) artists who were...well, pretty convinced that the world owed them homage because they had artistic talent. One has only to point out Vincent Van Gogh to realize talent means nothing if it isn't recognized. Vincent just got screwed because his genius wasn't recognized until he was dead.
Isn't that ironic?
I realize that my blog had never been recognized for burning wisdom or genius. And obviously I have turned to t-shirt art as an outlet for both my genius at dad jokes and absurd artistic humor. And also, obviously I have encountered Vincent Van Gogh's lack of recognition. But it isn't for lack of trying.
I scroll through my store chock full of t-shirt designs that I would by and wear if I could afford all of them. And I have started getting regular likes of my social media posts blatently promoting my t-shirts, but no one buys the friggin things. It isn't that I need the money. But come on, look at the shit you see promoted on Facebook that people buy.
AI assisted or not, someone has to recognize that some of my t-shirt designs are funny? Clever? Annoying?
This one's for you Vincent!
