how to be a famous artist---leonardo learning

There is no point in being an artist if no one knows your name. It is much better to be a "press Whore." (excuse the term) I was never an artist who sat around in a cafe smoking and wearing a beret. I am up at 4 or 5 AM everyday plowing full steam ahead and living on red bull just to survive and follow my dreams. Warhol's 15 minutes is much too short for my ADD addled brain---I prefer 15 days or 15 years...Just keep moving full steam ahead, even if you dont know where you are heading. There is no excuse for laziness as it leads to anonymity and anonymity as an artist is as useless as last weeks sushi. Art is made to be sold and in order to sell art you need a name at all cost even if that means coming up with bad ideas that get your name in the paper!!!!! It is not about ego, ego is a trap---- it is about passion...The old masters fought tooth and nail to get their name "out there" and nothing has changed.... you should do the same!
