Consumption on Demand

The human spirit is rewarded by consumption. Food, and drink, and pleasure… It all fills an inner need in our being.

To realize and profit on this basic need, the artist must create a need or desire for the art.

When a sporting event like the Olympics are in the front of mind, present illustrations or paintings that mimic what the audience has been viewing on television.

If the mood is going to vampires or wizards, show mystical works.

If the hot topic is fashion, then select colors to compliment.

This may sound like “commercial art”, but all artists need to sell their wares to survive, and yes, that is a commercial effort.

So realize the human spirit and create your visions to accommodate your ideas and be welcomed by the new visitor to your view of the world.
