You must lead a pretty miserable life if you can't think of anything better to do than paint houses.

I haven't painted in 20 yrs you dumbarse, not that it matters. It was a pretty good job as far as jobs go. That you think you can insult me by denigrating painters only highlights how miserable your life is, not mine. Unlike you, I don't need to denigrate your job just to make myself feel better about mine. Cheesy

Nothing to do with painting houses really. I can't think of anyone who would turn up to their job, or work as hard as they do, if they weren't getting paid. Not sure why I have to explain this.

Who ever said people turn up to work not wanting to be paid? Cheesy

How long have you been hearing these voices?

Painting houses is ok but sometimes I will do a waterscape or portrait.

Nothing wrong with being a house painter either but they do seem to become the target of snobs.

The vast majority of people work far less hard if it makes no difference to their income and standard of living

Much of the work we do is work for the sake of working. People create forms to justify their jobs, and other fill them out to keep theirs. Hardly working hard.

People work to achieve a goal. A goal can be financial or it can be for other reasons.

I worked because it was a necessity.

Sorry .... no it's not.

There are very few real artists in the Graffiti world.

By the majority they are just illiterate taggers/scribblers criminally vandalising public and private property.

If they were talented ... then there would be no need for them to be a vandal defacing property without permission.

Connoisseurs of finer arts defer to the élan of voluntary chef-de-maison and alley-way graffitist. Any old fool can apply acrylic accoutrement, visionaries bare their soul as the chosen ones.
