Ah, yes. One of the weirdest ways to "make it as an artist." Being one of the greatest illustrators on the planet and showing your portfolio to someone who is looking for an artist.https://twitter.com/AxurEneas/status/1447732432007045120 …

Though what I CAN extrapolate is: ( A) never stop making, sharing, and talking about the things you are passionate about. (B) Never stop looking for, taking and making opportunities to do more of (A) (C) anything that gives you money but not passion is a sidequest, not a step

I get my second shot tomorrow! At long last!!!https://twitter.com/BBCLBicker/status/1447434986571796482 …

I started trying to "make it as an artist" in 1986 and got nowhere until I happened to check twitter at the right second to see the subtweet that would result in an award-winning bestselling book, critical success and WME representation. I have NO IDEA how to make it in the arts.

Reminder that Banned Book Club happened because I tweeted "y'all guess what my wife did" and a week later Spike subtweeted me about us pitching a book. This is why there's no answer for "how to make it as an artist" all answers are different, and some are very weird.https://twitter.com/Iron_Spike/status/1447701359239774210 …

My "The Blind Man Who Did Not Want To See Titanic" title has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my title.

The funniest film at this year's BIFF has to be the 14 second introductory video from the director of The Blind Man Who Did Not Want To See Titanic. He was asked to introduce what his film is about and he said "It's a film about a blind man. He doesn't want to see Titanic."

Oh, also if you're still obsessed with Bad Art friend, you may enjoy this film about a mom spending 30 years saying she'll do anything for her lost son, meeting him for an hour, finding out he needs a kidney, and saying "Yeah, no, I'm gonna dip."

This was not a packed room. This was a matinee screening of a three decade old film, and there were lots of international celebrities and world premieres to grab everyone's attention. But those of us in that room got the best festival screening it's about possible to have.

Everyone was sobbing. It was, right before our eyes, a sequel to the movie. One that packed another 30 years of world history and personal history into 30 minutes that no one would ever experience but those of us in the room.

But this time, they did feel. They did cry. They sobbed. They hugged. They admitted that even though they were only actors, they really did become family on that set. All the things that would have been discussed before the Q&A, had so many emotions not been involved, poured out.

In the 1980s, when the film was made, Korea was still in political turmoil and they'd all taken wildly different paths. Moved to different countries. Found different levels of success. But in this moment, for the benefit of an audience, they had been brought back together.
