Career Advisor: Follow My Example

This was inspired by a particularly unpleasant conversation with a career advise worker. I was told to abandon painting and go stack shelves in a supermarket because there is no demand for artists. And also that I should leave the beautiful Yorkshire countryside and move down to London to stack shelves. I was told to follow their example: after getting a university degree this person abandoned their dreams and got a boring office job.

I did not sleep much for a few weeks after that meeting. This painting is a way of coping with shit. I do not like what I have done here, and I don't mean the technique, I mean the subject. I stood back, looked at it and said to myself, Taz, you sick bastard! But now I am not worried about it, call it therapy

Although I am sceptical about this, my mate believes it will sell. Well, let me know if you are interested
