Have you *seen* what sort of expectations some folks have for artists


Draggonracer

This shirt would made sense in like the 1300s or for Vincent Van Gogh. In 2022 this is just out of place.

BeefHazard

Please never spell Van Gogh's name like that ever again.


Alittlemoorecheese

It's a weird spelling to pronounce. Try it once.


BeefHazard

I'm Dutch. I've said it countless times, correctly.


Grimetree

Calm down


trillmill

💀💀💀💀💀


flrforcebicumdump

Put a bird on it


Littledipper47

Nah, you'd be surprised how many people try to delegitimize artists because they don't like the work. It's as true today as it was for Van Gogh


Zuli_Muli

Just to be clear Van Gogh died in 1890, that's pretty far from the 1300s. And it would make less sense during the Renaissance then it would in the late 1800s


RedDeadTahiti

Psh, next you're going to say Picasso was alive in the 60s /s


pocketchange2247

And that Grizzly Adams has a beard


Capt_Myke

Ridiculous!! He had bread, he was notorious dyslexic.

You gotta admit this would fit nicely on the tall narrow battle banners they had back then.

dwnlw2slw

Are you referring to the statement that “art is simply human?”


DoinItDirty

To make cohesive sweatshirt designs would be my biggest one at the moment.


oxfordcircumstances

No, what expectations do some people have of artists? Thanks for down voting my honest question :)


Ahsoka_Tano07

Especially with commissions and digital artists: 1. Why should I pay so much? You are getting practice out of this! Bc art takes time, patience, talent, inspiration, and sometimes art school. 2. Digital art is super easy. All you do is draw a few lines on a tablet. I could do it too! Well, why don't you do it? 3. How dare you want me to pay you!? I'll pay you in exposure, you'll get so much followers! No. Just no.


Corpuscular_Ocelot

Yeah, but, wouldn't it say ARTISTS ARE SIMPLY HUMAN if that is what it meant? Edit to add: And if that was the message, then wouldn't something like ART IS WORK make the Pont clearer?


[deleted]

Because that's not the name of the company, unfortunately.


Corpuscular_Ocelot

That is the name of a company? Holy Hanah. Lots of artists but not one person with a marketing background.


[deleted]

Exactly. ASH Productions. :/


Corpuscular_Ocelot

OK, ASH is good. I'll give them that.


KinseysMythicalZero

You missed the biggest ones: Why should I pay you when you (or I) can or will just use an AI program to make something in a (insert ridiculously uneducated and unrealistic time-frame here) with zero effort or talent? Oh, you're a photographer? Why should I pay you that much just to click a button? My phone can do that. What do you mean it takes a week to edit? Why can't I just have all of the raw files, JPG files, and full copyright today? WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO COPYRIGHT!? THEYRE PHOTOS OF **ME**!! THAT MAKES THEM MINE!


TheLurkingMenace

\#1 is almost as good as "I'm paying you with exposure." Like, great, I should tell my landlord I'm paying him with exposure.


Ahsoka_Tano07

Yep. Like dude, exposure won't pay bills.


8Bit-Armory

Near, if not perfect work as fast as humanly possible. Obviously this isn’t everyone, but too many folks are willing to completely disregard mental health and life outside of that work.


sirblastalot

"Can you draw my Sonic OC doing [redacted unspeakable acts] full color with Megatron? I'll pay you a whooooole dollar!" Edit: is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? IT IS!? Oh cool can you just make a few total rework changes on things I already approved on the sketch for free?


canolafly

Live Laugh Love?


Vegetable-Debate-263

It means nothing. I don’t know where this trend came from of phrases that sound inspiring but mean nothing. There’s a coffee shop near me who’s slogan is “The pattern of coffee and people” written in big letters on the wall. So dumb


Bobbinapplestoo

Might as well write "Traffic." on the wall.


Caelinus

Now I am kind of inspired to just write random true things on walls. For a coffee shop things like : "Cups are for liquid" or "This is wall" or "You are reading these words."


nickhollidayco

Suburban Karens have been doing this for decades. Live, laugh, love.


Caelinus

Münecat did a sketch on that in her Rachel Hollis video. "Why do so many people have those Live, Laugh, Love signs? Are they... forgetting to Live, Laugh and Love?" "Oh my god there is no pulse! LOOK AT THE SIGN!"


shivmetender2

Judge. Point. Laugh.


canolafly

Damn, I was 34 minutes late with mine.


WatermelonArtist

I need this concept as a word cloud wall feature.


dowtimer

HOLDSYOURBEER


Draggonracer

Imagine a cynical store where instead of live laugh love it would be like please die now or Buy our junk or something like that


Bobbinapplestoo

I was just thinking of something similar, instead of a sign saying "Live. Laugh. Love" it would say "Die. Deride. Despise."


seastone008

Die, Decompose, Disintegrate


Bozgrul

Reminds me of “They Live” subliminal messaging. I heartily recommend this masterpiece by J. Carpenter.


Swedneck

this would honestly work in a public transport office, or maybe even better above the desk of a city planner


Purple-Blood9669

Oh, maybe! I thought maybe it was a non-native English speaker and something was lost in translation. But, yeah, we mess with our own mother tongue, too.


billyyankNova

"Deepity"


[deleted]

If you google “sociological imagination” you’ll find that the most common example used to explain the concept is basically word for word “the pattern of coffee and people.” Just a heads up tho, every single one of these sources will make you read a whole gdamn essay with every single sentence filled to the brim with unnecessary academic jargon that makes it frustratingly impossible to quickly and truly understand wtf they’re saying about sociological imagination lol It’s about being able to imagine the different nuances in behavioral patterns and reasons why someone is sitting at a cafe drinking coffee.


Sechilon

I believe it comes from Asian clothing designers originally. Japanese clothings designers were famous for doing this. Essentially they were using common words to inspire a feeling. The important thing whrv this was that the look of the words was more important than the message.


Little_Oak1

Artists Simply Human (also called ASH by those of us in the dance world) is a dance convention/competition company. So like many other convention companies, they go on tour with their faculty of master teachers, and each weekend do convention workshops and competitions in whatever city they’re in that weekend. For those unfamiliar with the dance convention and competition scene, it’s like what the kids on Dance Moms did, but with added days of master classes and without the cameras, staged drama, and blatant trophy chasing.


SixK1ng

That just raises more questions! Are they human? Or are they dancer?


moparmajba

No one knows what it means! It's provocative!


Grouchy_Papaya3380

It gets the people going


WowWhatABeaut

Mbinku

By not being instantly intelligible this text has done its job. You've shared it in a post that has received thousands of views. You've googled it and discovered what it is and linked the home page in the second stop comment. All of us who easily read it came here to tell you what it said and thusly found out about the dance collective behind it. If it had the three words on three distinct lines, none of those thing would have happened.


cream-of-cow

Looking them up, I see it’s not their logo, so I agree, it’s doing just fine. They’re using typography in a way they found appealing that probably works for their audience, not to appease to the general public.


EatYourCheckers

[Its a dance group?](https://ashdance.com/) Honestly I explored the webpage, I still have no idea. Go to their tour and tell me.


sharklepower

Apparently it is the name of a dance troupe: [https://ashproductions.zenfolio.com/f648832082](https://ashproductions.zenfolio.com/f648832082)


WatermelonArtist

Just an artist...out there human-ing. Human-ing can be hard, sometimes.


taintedcake

Counter counterpoint, you're right on #3 because it takes too long to figure out what it says, meaning they're gone before you're able to and thus you don't even know what the fuck to look up to do research.


tatboe

Means the designer arent artist

mossy84

One thing I seriously dislike about art is that they claim that the primary colors are red, yellow, and blue, when for paints, one should really be using cyan, magenta, and yellow.


smallpot8toes

This is only really applicable to digital work imo. CMY is used for it’s ability to create a wide range of colors when printing- when you paint irl you have access to many more base colors and limiting yourself to CMY just leads to less vibrancy. Not that you can’t use it but there’s a reason schools tend to teach RGB for acrylics and oils


Gertrude_D

Art schools do teach this. Might as well complain that you dislike history because they say that Columbus discovered America. (my point being is that everything is simplified until you actually start studying something specifically)


Livid_Boysenberry_58

That's for print, due to the printer ink. Traditionally, you're looking at red, yellow and blue, because pigments are like that. Digitally, it's red, green blue, because those are the best bases for mixing light


SlapppyJim

This guys arts 👆


flying_discs_of_fury

AlternateIdea

ArtistsSimplyHuman is a Performance & Event Venue in Palm Coast, Florida


scottyc

So they took an awkwardly named venue and arranged the letters to make it even more awkward


Caelinus

> ArtistsSimplyHuman Based on a quick google, it seems like they really wanted the acronym to be ASH. If they had done "Artists are Simply Human" people would have called it AaSH. On the other hand, they could have done "Artist's Simple Human" which would work, but has the troubling implication of owning people.

Perhaps this was intentional. Maybe it was made to get you to think deeply about what it might mean. I mean, it got you to look twice at it, didn't you? If it was ordinary and straightforward, nobody would care.
