Art jobs are like this! Especially if management are also art people, then every day is utter chaos lol.
Two things an art job is great for:
-
Developing a thick skin. Make art every day, send it off, receive a detailed list of everything that sucks about it, re-do it, repeat this about 30 times until it finally goes out, then receive death threats from the audience.
-
Learning to function under chaos. A regular Tuesday at Art Job is roughly equivalent to the worst day in company history and a normal office job.
Two things an art job is not good for:
-
Keeping the desire to make art for fun in your spare time.
-
Being a regular functioning human.
I mean realistically what are you gonna do, appeal to their better nature? We’ve been trying to do that since when… Reagan? Nixon? The right has only dug in deeper and deeper, and now the Nazis are back.
We’re long overdue for some fuck about and find out time IMO.
