So I was asked why I would selflessly promote another artist, what’s in it for me


So… So… So I was asked why I would selflessly promote another artist, what’s in it for me, and all kinds of silly, cynical crap… First of all, Paul Jaisini has gained a pretty impressive, solid following and mostly underground fame for his very original and awesome concepts. 
It will be milleniums before the masses “get it” and catch up (as always). I, along with other *fans* (look this word up), never promote anyone but am simply sharing my taste of what I consider to be superior fine art— what moves my soul— what fascinates, illuminates, inspires me. As an artist myself, I take my admiration to the next level and turn it into “hommage art” and if I am “promoting” something, it’s a radical idea of a new art movement, a new and improved vision of art, that will save the dying art world and everyone in it. My reply to the question asked is: I actually don’t do anything different from you or anyone else. Everyone posts content of famous people—songs, images, videos, text, etc—as well as viral content, so I could say you’re either promoting that or simply sharing your taste like me, your favorite things as a fan. Just because someone is unknown or not famous enough yet to be a household name doesn’t mean they can’t have fans who are inspired by their talent enough to share it with others. Its already been established countless times as a hard fact that fame does *not* give someone worth, so worshipping non/semi famous people vs super famous ones is *no difference* whatsoever. Famous is a very loaded word. Everyone is “famous” in their own right and some people couldn’t care less if they get plenty of attention or an ocean of fans for their work because they do it for themselves and are happy regardless. More people need to understand and respect that.
