Pencils, paintbrushes, paper, cameras, ink.

The standard equipment needed to create art...or so people think. Most people don't see outside of the box. They don't see anything other than what is. They don't look forward, to see what could be, or look back to see what was.

What makes art good? What makes it worth looking at? People say they prefer to look at something beautiful. Something that makes sense to them. They look at a picture of a fucking rose, and that's all they see. But what if there's more? What if the flower represents something deeper, and darker than anyone could have imagined?

No one can ever see through an artist’s eyes. They can't borrow his lens, or his tools, or his hands, and create the same piece of art. It could be duplicated visually, of course, but it’d lack meaning, and feeling, and therefore it’d lack everything.

People can go stick their fucking flower paintings in a calendar, so that people can appreciate how ”beautiful” they are one month out of the year.
