“Don’t make pretentious art. Make beauty that stands the test of society and civilization.” — UjjwaI Dey

Art is not supposed to be a popularity contest. That’s mass market, mass manufactured toilet soap and disposable wipes. Be selective in what you aim to associate your name with. If you are going to call it yours or your creation–it better be something you can show to your friends and family proudly, as you can show to investors and customers.
