I don't know who needs to hear this, but as an artist wanting to live off  your work you just need:

🖐🖐10 people genuinly in love with your particular art, who also have the means to pay a decent sum for it.

❌ You don't need thousands of followers. You don't need engagement.

Focus on finding those ten.

That's the way. Long term and genuine relationships.

Traditional & nft artist + collector. I paint, sculpt, film & surf. Also a car & music fanatic. Holder of deadfellaz, cyber brokers, capsule house, KPR,  PXN

it's not easy, but a good start is to stop leaking energy on pleasing algo..

I really needed to hear this. I'm rethinking everything and this has been one of the major missing pieces for me. How do you find those 10 who have the means? How do you show them your work without pushing it on them? I never could reconcile that side of it, never felt right.

Even harder if one engages in engagement and followers.

I make art for the wild.
