Sean Scully met him once he claims that he came from Inchicore .Again Occi he went to art school .So he MUST BE AN ARTIST ? Its all part of the Mind Training If yo can buy into BUYING an education then Society BUYS into what you are selling .If you have a taxi licence you are seen as a Taxi driver If you have a Security Door Licence you are a professional not a rent a thug .You need to buy into the Licence or qualigication means you are somehow competent .You need a Qualification now to enter a building site Safety Pass you need a Qualification to pick up a box Manual handling Cert .If you want to be respected as an Artist you MUST of attended Art College unless your Banksy who created a Viral Gallery buy using the Media to promote his graffiti .
I believe any great artist and musician ....I mean the best ones
....nun them went to college.....the arseholes did....andy warhole and david Bowie used to be sticking it up each others bums an eatin pot noodles together.....an sellin shite art an so called music .....keith moon never went to music college ...neither did john bonham ....neither did Jimi Hendrix...van goch cudnt paint apparently
...formed his own style an transcended the mundane .....none the greats wer corrupted by conformity ......
I tink I'll forget about college ....dont want to end up like all the other cnuts talkin bollix an tellin everyone they have a bachelor of arts
.I prefer Heinz meself ..
Lovely tomatoes tang off them tings
