i wasn't responding to you lol.
No offence ment.
As for the artist part.
I actually don't mind when people do abstract art as a hobby.
Its when people do is as a "job" is what gets me.
It kind of did feel like it was directed to me and Raicuparta because of last two lines.
And I'm not offended, it takes a lot for me to be offended. It was the weird logic behind it that got to me.
And about that 'people calling making abstract art a job': It would be a job if you live from it on your own, not? In short: I simply don't care about that.

Jorichi, what you really need is to find something you're motivated to do. Not something you're good at. If you really love, say, playing an instrument, but you're really bad at it, do it anyway. Doing something you don't like just because you're good at it is an awful habit, doing something you love even though you're bad at it is a good habit. If you really love doing it, you'll spend so much time doing it that eventually you'll start getting good, and this will only motivate you more, until you're really, really good.
Well, that's really the problem in what I'm doing. I love drawing and modeling (or perhaps graphical work in general), but I never manage to do it for a long time. I tend to work on it a day or two, then I get distracted or I lose motivation to continue. Then I won't get back to it for several days (sometimes). But big parts of my motivation comes from doing these things for people who like it/want it/need it. It probably doesn't really make sense, I guess...
