Joe is one of the hardest workers at the Blender and he might Fuk around but he is very serious about his art. He is a great investment. And, although we give him a hard time down at the Blender. His education and hard work make him an important part of the Blender family…. He will be a great artist if he keeps working so hard….

Hi, I’m Joes dad,
I’m currently writting from a beautiful beach in Thailand, where I am on holiday; or more exactly, getting away from the heat in Udon, where I am farming rice and other stuff. Gotta cool down before the big rains come.

Joey emailed me this referance to sort of let me know what he was doing, he is a man of few words.
Well I am proud to say…..” Joe, you don’t need to get a haircut and a new job anymore”…..just keep on son and all the best to you….OK!
Joey, your just as crazy as I am, and I love you for it!

There are many things that I have learned in my life, but no lesson more important than ” if you want something you just gotta go out and get it, because if you rely on other people to give it to you, it’s gonna be a feckup”

Joe is doing what he needs to do; that is to follow the beat of his own personal drum.
It’s a funny thing but I forgot to tell him this before he left home, looks like he guessed it right anyway.

I hope you read this comment Joe,
From DAD with love.

Thank you “institutionalize artist” for the correction. I was too absolute; I have now altered the article to read “most artists prior to the 20th Century”.

No notable artists with institutional fine arts education prior to the 20th Century?
Check the list at the bottom of this page:

And that is just for one school in England.
