Serious artist

 If you’re a serious artist in Cincinnati, in your whole career you will not get as much news coverage as a high school quarterback.

If you are a serious artist in Cincinnati, in your whole career fewer people will see your work than those who attend a Reds game at the worst of their season.

If you are a serious artist in Cincinnati, in your whole career there will be no column in the newspaper dedicated to covering the work of you and your peers.

If you are a serious artist in Cincinnati, in your whole career your name won’t have as much significance as that of a mediocre Bengals player.

If you are a serious artist in Cincinnati, in your whole career what you have to say won’t be as heard as the clichés of a coach’s after game interview.

If you are serious artist in Cincinnati, your death won’t get as much acknowledgement as a professional athlete’s hamstring pull.
