There WILL BE less people like Patrick Stewart or Dolly Parton, given widening wealth inequality, loss of jobs in creative sector, austerity, privatisation of education (especially arts) & financial exclusion. Art of the near future will be less diverse & restricted to the privileged few.

Patrick Stewart's passing feels a whole hell of a lot like Dolly's. It's hard to imagine that singular talents found in people born in the working class or working poor will get fostered the ways theirs were. The things that nurtured those talents have been stripped for profit by assholes.

Rest in Peace Sir Patrick Stewart. It sucks to lose the ones that were really good at their job but also just really good. Just an unforgiving year. Throwback to an old inktober from 2017. Sending universal love to Ian McKellen.

The lesson of Patrick Stewart is to take the work seriously, even when it’s silly work, but never take yourself seriously. You can’t go wrong following that example
