Really appreciate the thoughtful comment and the time you took to read through the piece. Yeah, you are correct with that line "your art is secondary in this game." It’s a tough truth, sad..

Also, thanks again for letting me include your artwork in the post, it added a lot and I was proud to feature it. Always value your perspective and your work.

NOTE: Not sure why that bot jumped in with a downvote, seems totally wrong, but just wanted to say your comment is genuinely appreciated.
