Like most artists, I have to subsidise my artistic work. I own three other businesses: two cafes and an events business. When I’m not working in my businesses, I’m writing articles and essays, taking photos, recording audio, and producing videos, which are part of my artistic canon. Over the years, I have written and edited more than 8 million words! My work includes a multitude of freelance commissions, eight ‘Ghost Books.

I have over 40 books published on Amazon under different names. The genres cover everything from erotic to mundane. How to books and esoteric. The catalogue earns me a great holiday every year and leaves plenty over to pay for materials and hardware. If this is a success, even if only on a small scale, then I have succeeded.

Happiness is an emotion that can overshadow all of life’s problems and challenges. If you are an artist whose work inspires happiness, then your wealth is truly immeasurable. With just a pencil and paper, you can express your thoughts and capture vivid images. You have the power to write songs and poetry, convey love, or even break a heart. You can design a house, a garden, or a spaceship. Everything can be created within the landscape of your imagination. Your mind, a sheet of paper, and a pencil are magical tools in their purest form.

I love to see artists succeed, and I admire the few who earn a full-time living from their work. While I may feel envy, I view it as a powerful motivator that encourages people to excel and pursue their passions. I will continue to take pictures, write, and record audio for the rest of my life. My message to you is to never give up on your creativity. Inspiring even one person, making someone laugh or cry, is the true quest of an artist. You are on this journey, and I hope to be deeply touched by your work on every level of my emotional being. Until we meet again, take care.

Every article, podcast, and image focuses on the ideas of creativity or personal philosophies. Nothing is set in stone, although each stone of thought can be carved into beautiful sculptures. There is no more significant influence than your creative mind.

Eight Million Words? Here is the Evidence
