its true, i don’t necessarily “get along” with fellow artists who are chasing fame. why? because the fact that i don’t want fame, they have told me that they don’t perceive me as a true artist and call the art that i make my hobby. i am an artist. i become inspired - i create. i am not a salesman. i don’t have to sell my art to be an artist. and i certainly do not create inspired by or with the intention to make profit off of it. can i do that? absolutely. i’ve sold my work before and i expressed how it made me feel like a prostitute working the corner. that shared sentiment also offended them. it’s how I FEEL. you do you. i’ll do me.
