Artist certificate
In order to be licensed by the Artistic Practice Licensing Authoritiy you must agree to:
- At least occassionally produce works of art *.
- Study learned treatises on 'real artists', their qualities, achievements, practices and heroic struggles, for the purpose of understanding how hopelessly short of their standards you fall.
- Constantly question, to yourself and others, whether you and your work are good enough to ever be a proper artist.
- Mutter under your breath at least daily that someone will expose you soon.
- Cultivate brow-furrowing, chin-rubbing and other anxious mannerisms appropriate for artistic practice.
*Under exceptional circumstances the authority may accept 'talking about producing it a lot' or 'going to start it next week' as substitutes for this condition.
Limitations
It appears there is no JavaScript available at the moment to generate the artist certificate. Maybe it is switched off, or maybe it's decided not to work for whatever reason. I guess sometimes a scripting language needs a break too.
But hey, we don't want to let you down, so here you have a blank certificate. Find a crafty way to copy this section of the page, print it and then write your name on the blank line. You're an artist after all, creativity comes natural to you.
If you are able to get JavaScript to work again, you will be able to generate this certificate with your name on it. And there will be a nice print button for you to click.
