Asphodel: why I don't use the "artist on tumblr" tag
• It feels bogus and creepy. I have never been all that great at the game of self-marketing and for me, it stinks.
• You can tell I’m an artist, right? Even if you don’t care for my arts. I don’t have to telegraph for you “I am an artist; here I am on tumblr” - it would be like tagging my shit “picture words and/or music on the internet”
• I gave up making money from art per se (pure art, the stuff I do from metaphysical necessity rather than because someone hired me to do it - they are Very Different) a long time ago. It’s not right for me unless it’s right for you before it ever comes up. I will sell you pretty much anything I am allowed to sell you (and perhaps beyond), but only if you bring it up. I’m not here to pitch sales.
