“I couldn’t remember what life was like before I started walking.”
-Teju Cole, Open City
Walking means the path you take. Different people have different paths in life. The path is the journey that you seek to make.
Every artist’s path is almost the same, but they have different ways to get to their destination.
Some artists have agency which means that they have a vehicle, a huge vehicle that gives them a platform to showcase their Art. In other words, the Publishing agency, etc. But sometimes it complicates and the Artists have no total control of their Art.
Artists who walk are lone rangers in the desert. They have total control of their Art, but they are hopeful that they can find a flower. In other words, they are real passionate people because, with fame or not, they do their work and ship it.
Now, in an ever-changing world that we live in, being an Artist is always possible but not guaranteed, especially since the Internet is open and connected by almost all people.
The hack is this: find a few people and stick to them until they find those other people who want to ride with you, because the Internet is your vehicle as an Artist.
Consistency, not intensity, until you get a domino effect.
