On the Internet at one of the forums came across a curious statement:

Comrades, self-taught artists! In fact what you taught - your advantages: I was on his "lifetime" has told a lot of artists as "improvised" and professionals attended a 2-x thin school and now study at the Art college. I can say with confidence that the education of painting in 90%of the spoils and often not killing ability, and even the nature of gifted people driving in the framework of standards is not letting grow. I have seen several examples where the original talent so broke turning them into mediocrity, and ... in the end they did not simply lose interest in the arts, they already hate him, but if they have enough character to resist this, they simply expelled.
Course I doubt many of you all still want to learn, and you're absolutely right. In this case, I can give some advice: certainly need a lot of work yourself, but if you feel you need somewhere to learn a little, do not go to school or university, better looking man that suits you as an artist who already knows that what you would like to learn and if you interested, you can assume that this is the biggest success in your creative way

TE said that without a diploma you're not an artist simply does not flog the Chief: THIS ARTIST clear from his work, rather than according to the diploma. The main thing is that he expresses in his works and not what he finished. But life is arranged so that without a diploma to any work not accepted. Because of the degree have to do in high school but know those who do not know: since you decide to go on this way of creativity stop here because in high school and then at work will not implement their creative vision, but DO THAT REQUIRE beginning teachers that are not expelled, and then customers choby paid and not fired. So we all have to make a choice ...
By the way about the sale of works not be afraid to do so. I saw it as sold completely incompetent delusional of people with a degree (the fact that if a person is not talented or stupid by nature to him, no training will not help) They are not shy about the quality of his work and boldly pressed the maximum money for the full suck because for them it is business.
So if someone wants to buy your work, so she liked, hence it is worth it to buy it
