    hirst is bold and can sell himself. personally i dig him.

    it's not discrediting art to sell it, to me it's discredited by creating it to a specific brief to sell it. again this angle is busted by the whole 'commission' angle of a person paying an artist to paint or sculpt something specific so maybe these were early examples of commercial art? who knows.

    i do know that i anyone calls wedding photography 'art' they they're a fucking idiot. it's photography of a wedding, it's as much art as the photos i just took of a fishing reel.

    i'm probably wrong.
