Bad Art

===========
(Feel free to edit, copy, and/or print on a big-ass poster and mail to the
appropriate authorites.)


STEP 1: Admit that you were powerless over the artspeak thrown to you, and
that your art needs were unmanageable, unknown, or simply trampled over. 

STEP 2: Believe that being exposed to artwork greater than that exhibited
through K-Mart or Liquidation Art conventions could restore you to sanity. 

STEP 3: Make a decision to turn your art needs and wants over to the evidence
of observable aesthetics and design principles. 

STEP 4: Make a searching and fearless inventory of bad art made in the past. 

STEP 5: Admit to the person who sold or showed you bad-art (or encouraged you
to create bad-art), to yourself, and another human being the exact nature of
your wrongs. 

STEP 6: Admit that you're entirely ready to remove all artwork created for and
from artspeak characteristics! 

STEP 7:  Proudly refuse to patronize bad-art organizations and galleries. 

STEP 8: Make a list of persons you have spoken artspeak to, in order to
validate your bad-art, and become willing to make amends to them all.

STEP 9: Make direct amends to such people except when to do so would cause
them purchase or create bad-art (themselves) just to piss you off.

STEP 10: Continue to take inventory of bad-art you own or create, and where
you wrongly did so, promptly admit to it.

STEP 11: TAKE THE TIME TO LEARN AESTHETICS AND DESIGN as if *you* were an
artist and have the balls to demand it in the artwork that you are asked to
buy or create.

STEP 12: Become enlightened as the result of this step. Carry this message to
those that still suffer from Bad-Art and practice these principles in all your
art affairs.
