I think people need to realize that gaining an audience requires quite abit of knowledge, experience, and hardwork, and doesn't instantly come to people. Sometimes you have to do stuff you hate before ya do stuff ya like, that is life in a nutshell.

I also need to state this, but also try to build connections especially, a huge part of art is the connections made, Even Pablo Picasso saw talent in Salvador Dali and they had VERY different philosophies and ideas.
