Ultimate Goal

Working on this new piece has me wondering if it makes any sense for me to continue creating. The answer is yes, because if I don't I'll spontaneously combust. I can't help not creating, I get withdrawal like symptoms if I stay away for too long. I always amaze myself when I do something different but that amazement fades in a couple of days and I want to create something bigger and better. I guess this is what makes me keep going, even though that I may think that it's pointless for me too continue. There are so many artist out there, so many different styles, so many different techniques and I feel like I could never make a name for myself in this art thing, even though I haven't seen anybody do what I do. Ok granted there are designers who do the same thing I do as far as "mixtape art" and I use that term loosely because in essence even though it's a form of photomontage, the style was adopted for mixtape artwork. But I really try to take it to another level by creating stories and not just putting heads together and putting buildings in the background. I also try to push the envelope by touching different subjects even though music and the artist is my main focus, I try to address issues that affect us all. The ultimate goal is for me to get into galleries and have my work become highly regarded. Only time will tell if it comes too past.
