by the way, I never said of the world's best artist... I'm not bad...

But I never claimed to be the best artist. when did I ever say that?

I don't have to be the best artist to charge a lot of money and have tons of really happy clients that love the artwork and praise it 26 years after I painted it they were still praising it.

That's actually THE MOST IMPORTANT thing I wanted to convey to you today:

You can be an amazing employee at outback or any of those other corporate chain franchise prisons

You can be the most professional courteous dedicated employee they've ever had... And they will never stop and praise you. you'll never be acknowledged for that goddamn wasted effort

however...
If you paint a mural in a nightclub or a restaurant, you'll be a VIP customer and you'll eat for free or drink for free I promise

and 10 years later they will still be telling you "everybody loves your mural they all say who painted the mural and we all tell him it was you"

Do you see what I'm trying to explain?
It's just silly artwork
It's really not a big deal

however... YOU ARE IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY, SIR

You're not a hostess and you're not a waiter and you're not a goddamn french fry cook

YOU ARE AN ENTERTAINER
Your job is giving people creative things to enjoy and distract them while they eat their meal for get drunk at the bar
