I think everyone has their own artistic philosophies, but I don’t know anyone’s who stay stagnant. Here is what played in my mind the other day:
I do art for me. Would I like it to sell? Hell yes. Would I like it to be remarkable? Double hell yes. But if I am not creating for myself, then why do it at all? Art is, at its base, one of the few selfish pursuits in life that can lead to greater connectivity with the world.
