You know, one of the things that's most exciting about being a visual artist is that every single artist can be successful. The art world seems mysterious and seems complicated, but it really isn't. All you need is a guide for going through the labyrinth. And the fact of the matter is that all humans, all artists are unique individuals. And if you get in touch with what makes you unique, then you're coming from your heart, and you're coming from your soul, and you're coming from within, and you're willing to be vulnerable and put yourself out there, then you know, you can be yourself and your artwork is going to be unique. There are three criteria, I think, that determine who a successful artist is and what makes an artist successful. Number one is that your artist is distinguishable, distinguishable, distinguishable from all other artists, so that when somebody looks at your art, they don't go, oh yeah, you look just like Fan Go. You know, you don't want to look like somebody else. When they look at your work, they want to say, oh yeah, that's yours, I get it. So it's almost like your artwork, part of the expression, becomes a brand, but you know, you then become identified with your artwork. That's number one. Number two, and I think these are probably an order of priority, or in a sequence of importance. Number two is that you get your button the game, you know, it is no longer sufficient to sit back in your ivory tower, or you know, your dark studio and just make art and wait for somebody to discover you. It's not going to happen. You have to participate. The art world, and like so many other endeavors, are a byproduct of having relationships, of working with other people, of somebody liking you and hearing about something and saying, yes, here's an opportunity for you. Number two is that you've got to get your button the game. And number three is that you've got to make good art.
