You need to hold seminars on how to brand art. The money is better. Remember, children: if you can fake sincerity, then you have it made.

Well put. An identifiable look seems to be that branding ellement that is the thread of recognition. The signature that only comes with prolific attempts at ones art. Also the focused intention at understanding and developing the visual language thats being crafted.
Very helpfull to hear your article. as a sculptor i’ve struggled with that tipping point of branding being selling out or killing the unpredictabillity of true art. I can now see how that identifiable mark is essential for success but needs to remain edgy.Thank you.

Loved the writting. Very cool Shakespeare….
I too brand by using an illustrative element. It took me years to understand that this is branding, just as you make clear in the article. Thank you.
