I agree with you. This blogging business and web-sites has liberated a lot of artists from the tyranny of art galleries. Then if some one likes your work, well, Fabulous! And if not, they don't have to say so. But that doesn't happen often. (Misplaced as that last sentence is, you can take it any way you want). I have a saying that I'm sure you will like: There's no good artist like a dead artist! I toss it out every time someone asks me how I'm doing on sales. Just keep on creating. It's what you get from it personally that really counts. I think of it as a meditation and a way of working my issues out. K Sarah,

I'm a fellow artist who has also wondered about the relevance of where my artwork lies in today's (and tomorrow's) world. I keep many of my original drawings under a guest room bed. LOL. I wish more artists could revel in the inner exploration of creating art and the magical process of bringing forth something from nothing, allowing it to enrich them from within. Creating art should be an escape, not a prison in which one confines themselves with doubts about how their work will be perceived tomorrow. I've been turned down by galleries and schools for years, so it comes to pass in this digital age that we as artists can use the web to our personal benefit. People establish permanent memorials online these days, so we can immortalize our artwork online, too. It's cool to think that someone in Japan can look at another's obscure artwork originating from - say Utah. I took a humorous approach in establishing my own online gallery of illustrations - www.FamousAfterIDie.com. Thanks again for your great insight and keep up the good work! Thanks for this great post.
