You definitely have mastered your craft, your work is incredible. I love your attitude towards deciding what's next.
It's so sad more people don't appreciate the sacrifice and talent of artists and craftspeople. Sooner or later I expect a backlash against mass produced, fast and cheap goods but the economy will need to vastly improve first. I see a great future for tokenized digital art of the sort found on SuperRare. @Opheliafu is doing great work in that realm.
I've been experiencing the same sort of soul-searching for the next few months. I feel like I'm the cusp of a shift, and although writing will be a component of it, it might take a back seat to other things. The vision is coming more into focus every day.
I wish you luck in figuring out the next steps in your journey! The answer will materialize for you at just the right time and it'll exceed your expectations. Have a great weekend!
Thanks for your kind, encouraging words! I agree that tokenized digital art is an exciting new frontier (and @opheliafu is definitely doing great work within this genre!) but I have to say that it has no draw for me. I can appreciate and support that work for others but have no interest in doing it myself. But I do think the tokenized world will also support physical art work so that's good news.
Interesting that you're going through some soul-searching re-thinking of your creative world as well, and very interesting that writing may take a back seat. I've been feeling that my art, my making of things will also be taking a back seat for me. My shift will overlap since I still have many projects I'm pricing out right now and it's likely I'll still be doing that work for the remainder of the year but I can feel that a new path will be opening up and I'll be simultaneously applying myself, engaging, giving in a different way. I 'm not sure about the tangible details yet and right now I'm getting glimpses, feelings, intuitions about what's ahead but can't quite define it. It'll be fun to see how things shake down for each of us!
