I truly believe that we will see multiple artists leave the industry due to a multitude of reasons, maybe it's due to the fact that outside industries see our jobs as a hobby, or maybe it's because we don't show each other enough appreciation. People create so much great artwork, and because of the internet, we have been able to see it. But it's caused so many people to be "channel surfers" of art. Where they glance at something for 10 seconds and say "Yes or No" -- but if we can break that habit by continuously showing appreciation for all levels of artists, I think we can continue to inspire each other on non-competitive levels. One of the main reasons I started cataloging artists on what I called "The Collection" -- great video post Jeffrey! I love the idea of economy of inspiration, but I truly hope that we can reduce the discouraging fires that a lot of people could create online, and help excel all levels of artists to change our industry into an even more appreciated and respected industry.
