I had some interesting conversations about anarchism lately. Unsurprisingly, quite of diversity of opinions became apparent, which made me wonder whether I continue to call myself anarchist when questions about categorising arise. Maybe I rather invent myself as anarchartist, leaving signs of freedom instead of the usual talking loud.

Hold on, the next groups of people get pissed off here: Artists. Groups? Well, there are the 'real' artists, inspired, driven by their artistic urge. Often unconventional to a degree which appears rather amateurish. You can find them easily in bars, pubs and coffee shops in trendy suburbs, either lounging out to collect inspiration or servicing to make a living. Let us not forget those bastards, who sold out their talent to make some money. At least, they usually know their craft and, most importantly, other people who appreciate their work.

What makes art art? I don't even attempt to answer this, but I found out what makes anarchart anarchart. It's the combination of love, work, technology, inspiration, beauty and freedom. 6 vertexes of a tetrahedron, the smallest unit in universe.

Reclaim yourself.

Awesome, considering how often I'm misunderstood, I must be massive.

the other thing about anikoart is TRYING to make it look simple or amateur or whatever so other people who see it realise they can do shit like that too, it ain't about having the best gear or the best skills, it's just about doing shit.

You either try or do. There's nothing wrong with mad skills, and showing them off. That has nothing to do with 'best gear' or being the bestest.

The sky is the limit, the power of freedom beats sweetened slavery. Without parasites to boss us around, we need to be able to do things, much more than voicing dissent and/or beauty and/or joy and/or sadness.

Game on. Playaz need to know the rules to cheat efficiently. It's all good.
