I think of it as The Fool's Journey. I've been asked who the "fool" is. It's me, but in the classical sense of the court jester. Only the fool was allowed to tell the king of his follies.

I'm not making this stuff up, honest. Nowadays, if you a want a career in art you need, more than anything else, the gift of BS. You can take anything you want and call it art as long as you have an "artist's statement" to go along with it, and the more opaque the better. The kid is already on a career path.
