RE: I Would Be a Whale for Stuckism
Wao @ronthroop, que historia tan interesante la suya. Tener una casa sencillamente quita un gran peso de los hombros, aligera los gastos en general. Claro,.siempre hay gastos de mantenimiento, pero aún así, bajo los gastos. Particularmente pago arriendo y eso siempre es un baúl sin fondo.
Los artistas tienen una visión muy diferente de las cosas, y lo que se relaciona con emprender, considerando estar en Steemit un emprendimiento, sinceramente he visto que no siempre terminan de encajar aquí. Tengo algunos amigos artistas, escritores incluso, y son volátiles, escriben, y se van, luego aparecen, y así, no hay constancia. Pero es verdad, en Facebook se la pasan, ¿haciendo que? No sé...
Stuckismo, no conocía este movimiento, de verdad que no, pero si puede crear su Comunidad, adelante, para todos hay posibilidades aquí. Puede ser duro al principio, pero vale la pena.
Suerte.
Por cierto, bonitos cuadros los que ha compartido. Saludos.
Oh yes, very manageable roof over our heads. But it took a long time. A century or two ago it would have truly been a “death pledge”. We still have a few years to go until ownership. However, in the U.S. our houses are taxed forever. One never owns property outright. In New York State, the property taxes are quite high. I often wonder if we’re still living in a feudal system.
Not too long ago, I was a 3x Dolphin and enjoying amazing payouts for a single post. Granted, I put some effort into creating it, and believe that is as it should be if I expect pennies for my creativity. Social media as entrepreneurship actually makes sense to me as an artist. Part of my life’s mission is to seek communion with my fellow man/woman. It’s a very hard row to hoe, especially in this age. So much atomization of society, and dog eat dog degradation.
Some people on Steemit make 100 USD in steem per post. I am prolific and know this would be reachable with effort and consistency.
I agree with you about artists with their heads in the clouds. I am sort of a mixed bag:) I wear the hair shirt so to speak—a philosopher, pilgrim, and a painter.
Anyway, didn’t Zuckerburg’s empire begin with a creepy girl-watching app? And it didn’t pay a penny until it did:) Now look at him. Still as creepy as ever, but richer than Croesus.
This is Stuckism’s 25th anniversary. It’s an ongoing reform movement shaking up the market. It wouldn’t have happened without the Internet. The two go hand-in-hand and will be the downfall of the cheap commoditization of art and artists.
Thanks for the read and kindness to the paintings:)
Always merry and bright!

Thank you!
