RE: Artists Don't Eat Compliments.
Bravo!
At the beginning of this message I didn't know if it was a real message, because of the length. But I could rapidly realize that all your words were well funded.
First of all, thank you so much for your kind words and your support. Also thank you for appreciating the human creations such as either musicians do playing in the streets or artists sharing their artworks on Steemit.
I believe that people have many misconceptions about arts in general. For instance, I find truly hilarious that most of people think that arts is not a real profession, yet if you ask them to make a drawing, portrait or whatever they refuse because they say it's too hard for them.
Most of people also think (in the wrong way of course and as you well said) that the fact of making art is a reward on itself. This is because, again, they feel they can't, so they think that artists are talented, and the talent inherit is enough reward for us, The Makers.
They couldn't be more wrong: being an artist takes an insane amount of time, efforts, focus and mostly frustration, stress. It takes a lot of time that most of people use to watch TV, play video games or just go outside with friends. It's not talent, it's a skill. We develop it at expense of a great sacrifice.
This guy @ilt-yodith is impressive, he carves out words like a master butcher doing 3D art on a frozen carcass.
Would you believe I just found your blog from him SBD transfer to you :P
Blog Up-Vote cause it's Awesome!
Yeah...I'm also following you!
Damn! I didn't realize until you told me this! Thank you so much for helping me to realize!
And I absolutely agree: @ilt-yodith hit the point there. He used very, very well each single word and spreaded out his idea in a very unique way. I am happy that there are still some good steemians out there in the middle of so many overuse of bots, whales, flagwars and chaos everywhere.
Thank you for the follow buddy =)
