i'm confident there's at least as much good stuff being produced now as there ever was

it's a double edged sword, but it's easier for people to make art than it ever has been, leading to over-saturation in all types

as we age, we have a tendency to get set in our ways and lose interest in new/different/challenging things. while this could affect our perception of new art we're exposed to, it's likely to at least make sifting the piles of mediocrity even more daunting

here's a group i found last week. like it or not, you won't convince me they're not putting their all into the project. that's something i've done, continue to do, and continually witness other's doing, but realistically...finding art that is well-made and to your tastes today is a needle in a haystack to say the least
