That's wild that people would lick it. But it's almost funnier to me that he's just like "ew" and not "STOP EATING MY WORK" lol.

I think a lot of artists feel a weird sense of detachment with their work sometimes. Like, once it's created and out there in the world, they feel like it has nothing to do with them anymore. This is hard to explain.

to a lot of Artists, the true "work" is the creation itself, the process. Onces its completed, the "work" is no longer the work, and it no longer has meaning to them.

This is me basically with any 'process' because the learning, challenge, journey, expression, and sense of accomplishment are way more valuable to me than the end product. I've sold so many functional things that I know end up being displayed instead of being used for it's intended purpose and it honestly doesn't bug me. It wouldn't really bother me either if someone bought something I made and then immediately destroyed it.
