And I used to romanticise over these 'bohemian' types when I was younger.

I couldn't stand art school, the people pretended to be artists, hardly anyone real in the whole bunch. The only real people were the teachers, and the odd student who realised art is just enjoyment, not any kind of image, and if you can make money to live by your art, then you're better off without the term 'artist' - which is only a term used by people wanting to be something rather than just being.

That's a little sad that you dont really have any interest in the visual appeal of the environment around you though, isnt it?
uh.. I dont think I'm ' romanticising over bohemian types'. I sincerely prefer a world where people express themselves through artistic vision, whether they have so called 'talent' or not. Whether they're judged as real 'artists' or not. What do you mean by 'real people'? There are always pretentious people in every career path. To me you sound just as pretentious as the people you seem to be bagging out.. ? You're saying that people shouldn't conform yet you dont believe in free expression?
