You’ve read too much into what I’ve said and taken too much offense. Text is hard so I don’t blame you. “retiring and doing art” is an absurdly simplistic path to point someone towards and it’s not helpful to anyone who wants to actually create anything at all. And it probably doesn’t work in most cases.

“It’s what I’ve done!”

You seem to be aggressively pushing the idea that "doing art" means a very specific thing - i.e. influencing millions. Someone painting for their own pleasure is also art. And even if they never exhibited it, they are still creating things. Your definitions seem far too narrow.

[tjr225]

You’ve got me all wrong- surely you would agree there is a difference between arts and crafts… right?

[robertlagrant]

Sure. For example, painting a picture is art; painting a wall is craft.

My apologies, I only responded to what I read, I don't think I extrapolated beyond that, but could be wrong.
