  • In my experience with people who claim the title ‘artist’ it seems a fair amount of them are arrogant and some border or were full on narcissists. This is not to be confused with artists I have known. I am addressing specifically those who go about claiming ‘artist’ as an identity and wielding it like a club as if calling themselves that qualifies them to be a general pest to be around.

    I can understand the prevalence of these traits in ‘artists’ because it does take some extreme self confidence or arrogance to believe you have a unique vision that can change the world through your chosen medium. So maybe there is something to that. Frustrated that their self perceived genius is unrecognized and their talent unappreciated and not bring able to persuade others to their vision, they turn to forcing their viewpoint on others.

    Just rambling, pay me no mind.
