@Luke @neilhimself

Thank you. I saw this years ago, and I didn't know that I needed it at the time. But I realized it after.

@Luke @neilhimself This is a great speech, also available in comic form, by zenpencils, here https://www.zenpencils.com/comic/50-neil-gaiman-make-good-art/
ZEN PENCILS » 50. NEIL GAIMAN: Make good art

Even @neilhimself is wrong sometimes…

"We're in a transitional world right now if you're in any kind of artistic field, because the nature of distribution is changing. […] No one knows what the landscape will look like two years from now, let alone a decade away. "

Words from more than a decade ago - I'd argue that nothing really changed since then. Well, maybe some details… but not the overall picture.

Maybe given another decade or two? But there'll be probably less change than we'd imagine.
