<-- Warning: this image may haunt you as a fever nightmare...

I wish turning a profit weren't such a factor in the arts. When someone is the the driving force behind a movie/song/book that makes some money -- they have opportunities to be everywhere. And many artists take advantage of the opportunity -- ah, tortuous ubiquity!


When artists take on projects doing anything to be seen/heard/read, it becomes obvious that they are indiscriminate; and then their projects make you want to hurl said artist directly into the sun because it is inevitable that their choices will become insufferably BAD.


Currently, is it possible to become a famous without selling out at the expense of one's integrity (i.e. -- JD Salinger, Harper Lee)?
