it's an artistic choice: create images for the mass market, for the target demographic, or create images for yerself. do the former and you'll be popular today, and forgotten in 10 years. do the latter and you'll be ignored today, but possibly quite popular long after yer dead. ya can also speed up the process by various actions - moving to tahiti, getting involved in politics, cutting off yer ear and mailing it to some broad, etc.
