Love your dog, especially his reaction.

It takes a long long time to become a great artist. I would like to see what these 8 artist do in 20 years. Art that comes purely from a technique usually runs out of steam at a certain point.

Most people can spot a fake intention a mile away, a good piece of art comes from an authentic place… it has something that stops one in your tracks and makes one look longer.

Your methodology made me think of who would be interesting artists outside of that formula. Call it the underrated artists. Maybe a nice idea for a future video.
