It is certainly pretty goddamn depressing to look at the price on these sorts of things and compare it to how much time and money you've spent acquiring your art skills, and how much money you're likely to make off of them in your entire life.

I've probably had a lot more fun drawing furry porn for money than Johns has had producing turgid masses of grey noodling, though. I regularly giggle with delight at the things people pay me to draw. If I was more stoned I'd consider extemporizing furry porn as a fascinating proletarian genre that is aggressively ignored by the art world. And then consider putting together a portfolio of nothing but to throw at some of the local galleries. But instead I think I'll just turn off the internet and get some work done.

I would think that the antidote to turgid masses of grey noodling would be something more like Marc Chagall--blasts of color everywhere, biblical characters, newlyweds floating in space, farm animals playing violins, childlike hope. But hey, I guess furry porn works too.
Furry porn’s what I draw, so...

And trust me, that stuff is colorful. Lots of cartoon animal people in bright, unnatural cartoon colors.
