Food for thought
- Digital artists’ gallery exposition space was social media. I don’t know if Instagram’s success would be the same if it wasn’t for artists, photographers, and all these creative people that used it as a showcasing medium for what we do now.
- There are many moments in many artists' careers when you’re ready to say “fuck this shit. I’m done”
- We all focus on what is next so much but then we forget where we’ve come from and how far we have come in the journey of what we do.
- Digital art deserves it’s to have a medium that is native to it.
- Building your connections and your audience is very important. people expect it to happen instantly. It takes time, it is work.
