Who cares if they have something to offer the world, right?<BR/><BR/>Now i have no issues with people who promote and sell their work.<BR/>But you somehow gotta earn it first.<BR/>You have to make a name for yourself, not make one up. If that even makes any sense.<BR/><BR/>My husband, who's a pretty decent tattooer, hasn't even done a sketchbook yet. And it's not because it wouldn't sell or that he has no offers from publishers.<BR/>If he was half as hungry for fame and fortune as these kids, he would be on sketchbook no. 15 already.<BR/><BR/>Now, with that being said, i gotta go pre-order THE Corey Madsens new sketchbook.<BR/>Werd.Flora Amaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04611367458171075255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027556973128237456.post-67339453921385551042008-10-12T15:03:00.000+02:002008-10-12T15:03:00.000+02:00Shyte. I'd promised myself I wouldn't post on you...Shyte. I'd promised myself I wouldn't post on your blog today...give others a chance but THIS topic? I can't stand down. MONEY. MONEY. MONEY. WHAT DOES MONEY HAVE TO DO WITH ART? NOTHING. But what does money have to with the Art World? Everything. The apprentice sounds like he hasn't found a patron. I don't know what kind of old-school apprentice would be allowed by the master to sell his stuff, or what kind of apprentice wouldn't need his sketches for future reference??? The kind artist who is interested in selling his work so soon is the kind of artist I don't want to buy. This topic fires me up...I could go on for days. And ps. I am an artist and no one knows who I am, and I have tons of work in my basement/ hate to part with certain work so consider the source.FrostingandFirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06866561491734312424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027556973128237456.post-49551885076809843702008-10-12T02:46:00.000+02:002008-10-12T02:46:00.000+02:00its all about self promotion! getting the word ou...its all about self promotion! getting the word out there! it no longer matters if you are good, just as long as people know who you are!<BR/><BR/>didnt you get the memo?<BR/><BR/>you'll understand when you start hearing people say, "check out my corey madsen piece! i got it done by THE corey madsen!!"<BR/><BR/>excuse me, i have to go whip up a sketch book now and start posting about it...CoreyGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09569519878808230629noreply@blogger.com
