Fuck yeah! Thank you for posting this. I did go to school. Got a degree in drawing and painting. Took me six years of full time, hard core work. I bet very few people here think i'm an artist or even care. I've had my music, drawings, painting and photography used by others for profit with no credit to me (or money either). I made art before the internet and after. When i got paid and didn't. Just kept doing it because. Because? Well yes! Because if i don't i go nuts :)
I often find myself here on steemit wondering why THE most valuable thing is words and writing. As if every creative field is worthless without an expert writing about it. Oh boy, now i'm lost in an endless rabbit hole tangent with all that.
It takes guts to just say F... it! I'm an artist! Bravo!
This blockchain doesn't reflect real value in terms of rewards much like the world we live in. Yes, that's a sad reality to know that few know you're an artist and many won't even care. We can't just go blurting out we are artists because we think so and so. I do think there are several forms of art and some forms have more depth that others but nonetheless they are still art.
I think the struggle for any artist that pursue fame is being haunted on whether their art will be palatable to their audience. It's not like we could please everyone with our form of art. But I'm just happy that I cold create some stuff other people would want to have for display once in a while.
