As for me my art is from above to do a service for mankind Henry ford said, any business having a focus on service will have only one problem with profits, it will be embarrassingly high.. I hate doing conmissioned potrait art by the way.. I’m a highly inspired person, following the Nigerian Draw portrait syndrome will be imprisonment for me... |

I am living in oke Andy ilorin, and I am an electrician by occupation, I've tried looking for messy work which is even out of the scope of my occupation but I am yet to find one. Please I'm begging anyone here that could be of help to please do. help a brother in need of work. You can reach me on +2349121162594 or on my email @ tpelumi202@gmail.com thanks. |

socialmediaman: you still need a lot of money to mint nft on ethereum network. They should face the reality, being an artist is not a sustainable career especially in this part of the world. |

It's not been easy but location and concept influences it, depends on the location and the concept the artist is painting. This Mora painting of Bruce and Soyinka. 1 Like

Wotoporiously speaking Some professions are under-appreciated in Nigeria, if you wanna make it in any profession at all try your best to study your environment to know if it suites what you're doing or not, if not you try and migrate to where you get appreciated for what you do, now that's how you make moolah by working smart. |

If your art work is static, then make it dynamic. Give life to your art work; Learn the Skill of animation. Watch your work getting more attention than the static art work! |

A lot of artists are not valued and their works are less appreciated. I create and sell more of my works as NFTs than commissions. As a Nigerian artists , you need not to rely on art as your soul source of income especially the yet to be established artists. 1 Like |

Well.....to me art is still a noble profession which I'm proud of. it is a profession meant for the elite and appreciated by the selected rich and exposed individuals which we still have many of them around to patronize the artist. Like I have client who love art so much that he has over 50pieces of my creative works in his building. Yes there are those who appreciate Art and can afford it. 1 Like |
