I think there is always a point in the early career of a person experimenting with creative forms (not even an artist yet) where one decides to share their art. And before this point i think everyone creates for the sake of art i mean why would you partake in it in the first place? but after you start to shareto others, it's like a door you walk through and you enter a completely different domain. the way you self perceive your art becomes different as if looking through other people's lens and the purpose of creating can take on more dimensions as well. after all if it was purely for the sake of art and sake of art only then why would there be any need to enter that door? i think it's a natural progression of creating art that leads to the desire to share for communicative purposes, using it as a tool for shaping your perception, earning commission, etc. but i think the ones who do this natural progression the best are the people who can separate these supplementary purposes away from the original intent to create art for the sake of it. i dont think many can. is it easier over time?
