As an artist, I could never separate another artist from their art. Are you kidding? Art is a piece of the artist. They are inextricably linked. Please, never separate me from my art. If I ever somehow become a monster, forget my name and my creations. Let both die forever. We are one.

next time write it in crayon lol
It's not a bird, it's my guts and blood.
If I'm a horrible person, I don't deserve to be forgiven because I make nice art; I deserve to be condemned.
now it’s about rationalizing consumption as endorsement 😭
i refuse to surrender
There is another meaning to the phrase, which is that we should judge a piece of art on its own terms rather than the artist's intentions. That I agree with.
They are my children and contain the depths of my soul
They can’t be separated from me even if you do mental gymnastics.
Ppl that wanna seperate the art from the artist are understandably in grief but they are in denial about the creative process.
Also I rarely sell my work. I donate them or I keep them
That said, they go into the world, but they will always have a part of me in them.

She wouldn't let me tear out the page I colored to take it home to keep.
... I'm 38 now and I still remember.
Should I disregard all artwork by anonymous or unknown artists on the off chance they could potentially have been bad people by some metric? I can't follow this logic
Art is informed by the artist.
Like, for instance, Bill Cosby’s stand-up comedy making fun of his wife hits different after the truth came out.
