Fujimoto's Four-Year Art Challenge

Fujimoto: There weren’t any prep schools near me, so I went to an art class with a lot of old people, where I did oil paintings in the corner. There were good artists there, so I decided that if I didn’t get better than them in four years I would kill them, and since I didn’t want to go on the run if I was a good artist, I just kept drawing.

A text meme quotes Fujimoto describing how he joined an art class with older people, challenged himself to surpass them within four years, and kept drawing to avoid having to flee after killing them. The absurdly calm delivery of a violent motivation makes it a darkly funny reaction to intense ambition and dedication.
