Non-Prophet Art

      I used to think I wanted to be a famous artist who made tons of money from their art... But over the years I've learned chasing dollars and playing the game called capitalism is a bunch of bullshit... and what really makes me happy is teaching, creating, and sharing art. In fact it makes me so happy that I've willingly lost/spent money every year of my life doing it and I plan to keep doing so. When you factor in all the costs for supplies, publishing, printing, marketing, art classes, taxes, and more, art is quite an expensive pursuit... But it makes me happy and believe that you should invest in your sanity, and I'm  going all in...
     And luckily for me, I've worked my way up to a point where I can now earn a living teaching art. I want my motivation to create and share art to be free from financial aspirations so I'm now changing my business name to "Non-Prophet".  As a "Non-Prophet" artist I'm committing myself to paying it forward by initiating a policy where I will donate 100% of the proceeds from my art toward various charities. My focus will be on supporting the environment, the homeless/poor, and other humanitarian causes. I still believe my art is worth money (in fact, it's worth more than money!) and it is valuable in many ways however I already have much more than I need and giving back to the community is a constant reminder of that. Let's make the world a better place, peace y'all!
