What is some advice you would give to a new artist?

Was asked by RTNNightmare, and the following is my answer.

Try to always remember the difference between the creative life side the commercial life of an artist.
The creative journey is eternal. There is no time or place or judgement that can satisfy the artists creative destination.
The proof will be in your future, when you make some heavy lauded work. Take two year after said work is lauded, and you will be more creatively unsatisfied with said work than two years ago.
The commercial journey is mortal, is straight forward. The goal is to make money using your art. The audience taste is the determinant. The ability for your work to get outreach is more important commercially than the work itself.
Remember to find communities online that enjoy the art work you do or may enjoy it. You are just starting so commercially you don't have a name to be recognized so you must go to the people who may find your work interesting.
The media tools will not direct them to you.

You have to try and comprehend and embrace that duopoly. Some, including artists, will tell you that the commercial goes hand in hand to the creative but that isn't true. And that isn't a negative.
Jean Michel Basquiat< streetart>
Philip K Dick <writer>
Penny and the Quarters<music>

All of these people posthumously found commercial success that they were not even remotely close to when living. Does it mean that when they were alive their work was crap or creative garbage. No, creatively it was fine as all work is creatively fine. But commercially, it wasn't good enough. The sad truth is that audiences tastes change, work gets outreach it never had and then can come a horde of money.

IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR

The Entertainment Industry Is Going The Way Of The Automotive In The USA

Fiscal Capitalism in the USA has always been about cheating. Fortunes made from stolen land, forced labor, auniversal illegal allowances, auniversal murder of competitors, dysfunctional financial trading systems all served and serve to grow and maintain the wealth of a certain group, not to invite competition or share wealth in the USA's history and in modernity to the global system the USA manages. And it isn't all doom and gloom for the USA. Western Europe, Korea, Japan plus many others all require the USA to protect them from countries with true militaries. So the last bit of the Entertainment Industry <music/sport already went before film>goes the way of the automotive/electronic/real estate industry in the usa as dominated by foreign actors allowed by an open market that other countries with true militaries dont allow in their borders. The question is, with nothing but being a police man to most of humanity outside the usa while machines are able to do most uncreative jobs, what industries will be left in the usa for humans? and,.. will they be enough?

Lackadaisy Rhapsody

A rhapsody is a musical form where improvised or spontaneous bridges between musical segments not aligned to each other is made as one song. The original rhapsody was the person who interwove epic poems to speak, as epic poems are long and need improvised bridges.

Calligraphy Journey

the title of TheOneWithBear ManHua, Sunshine Through the Willow Tree.

It took half of year for my fellow calligraphist to make the electronic brush as well as practice the forms.

Calligraphy comes in many forms but usually is a measure between legibility<the ability to read> side figurability <the ability to see an image>

For example, the following is the tughra or signature of Sulemain the magnificent of the Ottoman empire
