Members Oldtoolsniper Posted September 25, 2015 Members Report Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) So here I am contemplating art. Is it art or is it just marketing? Is art defined by it's perceived value? The higher the price tag the more artistic the item is? Who sets that value or the price tag. Away from art but the point is here. Is it really just marketing? A nylon bag with plastic boxes for bass lures made by Plano $30-$70 or so. It's for bass fishing so it's not an elitist type sport. A nylon bag with plastic boxes for for fly fishing but we call it a boat bag. It's for fly fishing it sells for around $230 but does the same thing. It's made in China but the marketing campaign is very well done. They both do the same thing, the difference is in the marketing. Is the difference between a leather artist and a leather worker marketing? Edited September 25, 2015 by Oldtoolsniper Quote
dirtclod Posted September 25, 2015 Report Posted September 25, 2015 IMHO a Artist is what a lot of people think they are !! But very few are really a Artist or ever will be. To me it's just the people that become Master leather workers ( in their minds ) in less than a year and they sure will tell you they are a Master leather worker !! It amazes me the number of people that become Masters ( in their mind ) within a year or less !! Then theirs the Master leather workers ( year or less ) that are all the time asking how do i make this or how do i do this. Everytime i read something like that i think to myself YOUR THE MASTER FIGURE IT OUT !!!! After all your a Master !!! No i'm not a Master leather worker not even close, and i have sense enough to know it !! Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.

dirtclod Posted September 25, 2015 Report Posted September 25, 2015 Gaze into thy navel, and profound you will be... I'm pretty slow I guess, but what does that mean ? Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
Reegesc Posted September 25, 2015 Report Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) It means it's a philosophical argument and adding extra exclamation points doesn't make it objective. Just means you're emotional. "I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything." At least you got that right. Edited September 25, 2015 by cseeger Quote
dirtclod Posted September 25, 2015 Report Posted September 25, 2015 Boy do i feel lucky !! I have been pulled over by the Grammer Police. You bet i am old enough to know that i don't know everything ! Are you old enough to know that you don't know everything ? Of do you have a few years to go before you get there ? Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
