Not much more to be said here. Market, self promotion, yada, yada, yada... Point is, do you want to be famous or an artist? I want to be an artist. If I get famous, great. if I make a living at it greater! If I satisfy my desire to create images that invoke thought and/or emotion, I am a success. I get more from someone on this forum telling me I did well and that they got something from it than I do if I get money. I won't turn done money in most cases, but the fact that another talanted person likes my work tells me I am doing something. Nothing moved me more then when my mentor told me "dude you have got the eye". I have admired his work for years. how famous is he? He makes furniture to pay his bills. Magick Michael
