"I DON'T WANNAH!"

.
I'm supposed to pick up my art from the 2b artspace, Hill Street Centre, Middlesbrough...
...and "I don't wannah..."
Like a child not wanting to go to school...
...or a teacher not wanting to slog out to school....
...or a headmaster who also hates his school...
"I don't wannah go to 2b!"
My stuff was selling for only £10 each and nothing sold.
I'm kinda half hoping they'd throw it all in the bin as no one values them.
But 'no' apparently I have to go in myself and hang around, "yuck", other humans on public transport and stuff. And me and other humans don't mix well. Other humans are icky.
.
Some people have worked SO dam hard to push me out of the local public arts scene (cough, tees-cough, cough-valley, cough-arts-cough, cough,)
And it seems that anyone putting THAT much effort in, using a mix of rumours, undue influence, and outright disenfranchisement SHOULD have THAT much effort fairly rewarded!
.
To be fair... I have been a particularly stubborn yellowing shit stain to get out of the bed sheets.
.
So I want to let them "win".
I simply can't be bothered anymore.
I ran out of enough anger to keep caring.
I just want to create my stuff and let it go to people and charities FOR FREE.
I can't be arsed with open calls, submissions, career building, ass kissing, polite nodding in acknowledgement, and cash grabbing anymore.
I just want to create, then just give my crap away to whomever genuinely wants it.
.
Screw money.
Screw the local arts scene.
Screw the egos, the games, the playing of the games, and all that posh, snobby, pretentious bullshit.
.
I don't want to be a salesman.
I don't want to be an ambassador.
I don't want to be a politician.
I don't want to run a business.
I don't want the stress of fame or of success.
I just want to be an artist and a writer.
.
I just want to create and give for free.
Create and give for free.
Then create and give for free some more.
.
In a world full of people seeking validation, money, and respect.
I'm opting out.
.
So if you want FREE art or writting then Do, Please, reach out and contact me!
But if you want me to take any money for it?
Then, - Guess what?
