Hey you! You can’t have this.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Dave, and I\u2019m an artist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sorry, Nothing Is for Sale Here.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I know. It’s a website. You’re expecting a shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no prices.
No checkout.
No “Buy Now.”
No limited edition print drops curated by someone who calls themselves a “brand strategist.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work isn’t waiting for your credit card.
Feel free to stare at it.
Overthink it.
Pretend you understood it immediately.
Tell your friends your five-year-old could do better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just don’t ask how much it costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer is the same every time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can’t buy it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some things are allowed to exist without becoming products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revolutionary concept, I know.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
