THE TAO OF PIXEL ART : An interpretation
0xDB:
* Dennis thinks of possible answers... options ( ridiculous: "That's what she said about my 'candy-bar'..." / smart ass: "In that sentence substitute candy-bars with one of { art, life, art of living } and I dare say it's still true." / semi-holistic: "Depends on who's thinking about the candy-bar. The candy-bar producer should understand how to create a tasty and visually attractive candy-bar which sells. So for him/her it is vital to understand it or he/she'll be out of business soon." / depressed: "Damn, I don't have any candy-bars left." / silly: "How appropriate you fight like a butter-scotch!" / ignorant: "Experience my ass! (..on second thought: No don't do that.)" / apologetic: "I'm sorry for the derailment." )* Dennis isn't sure which answer to pick... maybe this minimalistic one, which leaves a lot of room for interpretation: "Such is art."
Helm:
All these answers are
Dr D:
Yes, I agree, they most definitely are
zez:
I disagree, however I am likely wrong.
I believe it was the great philosopher Playdough who said it best with
"Nietzsche sagt gott ist tot; Gott sagt Nietzsche ist tot."

That totally depends on your mindset.
Also if art is not enjoyable if you are not good at it, please explain more than half of Deviantart to me.
Fail!

You're absolutely right; it's very subjective, a lot of people are terrible, but love doing art anyways.
I do, however, want to affirm his pain - many of us have to go through a several-year "art purgatory" before our skills match up with a lofty sense of taste. It hurts bad, and I'm pretty sure most of us who do have a sense of taste decide that it's not worth it, and quit. Decide they're not cut out to be artists. I know I've got a lot of friends like that, who've given up the dream. I suppose the world does have its need of accountants and HR people, but it's still pretty tragic, IMO.
If we want to carry on a theme, we could call this "art seppuku". :(
