The Age of The Charlatan ???

you know , I have tried to summarise our current times in a few glib notations before ...

I coined the notion of ' obsessive compulsive acquisition ' and I believe was the first to suggest that it was an inherently societal symptom ... one that would be extremely difficult to withdraw from !! and that from it the larger connotation of an actual epoch or identifiable age could be defined , but as what ?

the age of madness ....
the petroleum age .....
The Plastic Age ....
the age of the logo ....
the corporate age ....
the dawn of the ' brave new world ' .....
the age of the recreationalist ....
the age of celebrated and even rewarded mediocrity ....
the digital age .....

there are so many that are rather fitting , but don't quite encapsulate the full spectrum of complex interchanges and balances of cultural/ societal / economic and psychological trends that have become more and more apparent ... and personally I would consider far more concentrated in recent decades

' The Age of the Charlatan ' though , I think that might be the closest that I have come to covering all aspects of the spectrum ... for the sake of a loose overview anyway ....for now !!

coca cola , mcdonalds , the Disney company , 20th century fox , bbc ' news' , Donald Trump ( although as a notion anything since Nixon fits here ) Monsanto , Theresa May ...... and every tier of the echelon and hierarchy above and below these obvious pinion points

it just kind of speaks for itself ...... no wonder they tried to stuff that ' keep calm and carry on ' crap down our throats ..... and it seems to have worked !!! we have all been totally sucker punched by the over paid and under talented charlatans of this world ..... and its definitely well overdue for an overhaul x

The Daily Grind
Many people I speak to assume that being an Artist is all very nice .... generally because great aunt murial paints and she is always going off on little artists retreats and whatnot! or its the stark opposite , people think that you have to live in squalor and be stark raving mad! truth is there are components of both in my existence x
