If you're new to this channel, go ahead, hit that like button, comment, subscribe, make sure you click post notifications so you won't be notified anytime you budge out some heat. In today's video, I want to talk to you guys about what I am trying to do with my art career. So I started this channel just trying to turn art into a job. So the short term goal for me was to at least try to make this work for me so I can be able to do this every day for a living. We accomplished that by you guys. Thank you so much for the love and support because without you I couldn't accomplish that goal. But now it's time to evolve. And what I want to do with my career, I noticed I'm seen as a teacher and I love that don't get me wrong. But what I want to do as an artist is create a legacy. You know what I'm saying? I want people to not only see me as a digital artist, I just want to be seen as a all around artist and be able to share with you guys my original art. But the only thing that's been holding me back over the years is being fearful of having different companies steal my art. Different fake pages posting my original work that I put my heart and soul into. And then when you log on you see other people getting credit for something I created. So with that in mind, that helped me for the longest in a box because I will always create on my YouTube channel. But I always know I can't really show you guys my best work because it's always getting stolen. Like it's even people selling my work on Amazon. You know what I'm saying? And I'm not talking about clients who really purchase work from me. That's fine if you really purchase the art from me. But I'm talking about it's other artists, so-called artists is stealing my work and acting like they created and getting full credit. I will post some shots so y'all can see what I'm talking about. So having to deal with that for years kept me in a box of not wanting to truly show my original ideas. And not too long ago a good friend Eric hit me up. He messaged me. He said, gee I need to talk to you man. It's something big that's taking place for a digital artist. And he started letting me know more and more about NFTs. And what he made me realize is as a digital artist I'm able to copyright my work where people can trace it back to me. And that was the whole just the excitement when I just heard that news. I can't even explain it to this day. Like I'm no longer caged with creativity as an artist and I can be able to share with you guys what I truly want to share with you. Like the gift that God has blessed me with I can share my ideas with you. And I happen to worry about not being able to be identified as the creator. Because one thing as an artist if you truly love art the goal is to build a legacy with your work. You know what I'm saying? Like when I was younger I always looked up to Picasso and just other great artists that we know. You know what I'm saying? But the only way these guys were able to build a legacy is because they didn't have to worry about artists stealing their work and claiming that it's theirs. But in our generation we got to deal with so much theft that the artist who's creating the work he can never get credit for it. You get what I'm saying? So with the protection of being able to mint my work and you can do more research on NFTs so you can know what I'm talking about if you don't get the terms. With the protection of being able to copyright my work that means I can share with you guys the real chi. Like because I'm more than what I put on my YouTube I just want to let you guys know the reason I keep my level at a certain thing because I'm already knowing as soon as I post a picture an app finna steal it the advertise they app or a fake page finna take it and say I did this if you want some work like this hit me up in the DM so knowing I'm dealing with so many things it kept me in a protection mode because I see my art basically like it's my little kids you know I'm saying you know how you want to protect your family that's how I look at my art so I'm so hyped about the art community the art gang changing and it's putting it's making it where digital artists digital artists is getting respected just like you would respect somebody that's painting and drawing on canvas because the same amount of work they put into making a canvas like that's the same amount of work we put into our creations when we're drawing on Wacom tablets or iPad or wherever whatever software you use and you put your heart and your soul into it if you're a real artist like me and I'm pretty much everybody that's following me on my channel is creatives that's why we call ourselves the creative gang but I'm trying to tell you guys my goal right now is to try to get verified on nifty gateway and rareable I just want to be able to be a part of this new curve you know I'm saying so I can be able to every day I log on um my youtube channel I can really share what you guys original ideas and the reason it's so important to try to get verified on these platforms because I noticed if you're not verified they look at your account as if you could be a scam and I notice you're harder to find you know I'm saying because I sent the link to a couple of my friends because I got an account on rareable but they said they couldn't find me so I just want to share this video maybe the the top dogs at these platforms and be able to see it you know I'm saying and they can make that dream come true but I just want to let you guys know too the future we got a lot of great things coming because now I'm finna I'm finna try to switch my whole channel up I know I did a lot of tutorials for you guys because just like I said at the beginning of my art career the the main goal was to try to turn art into a job I just wanted to do art for a job you know I'm saying and I was blessed to be able to make that dream come true thanks to God and thanks to you guys for all the support you showed me all the love for all you guys watching the videos that really mean a lot to me and now I'm focused on building a legacy man I'm focused on trying to be the best I can be so maybe that'd inspire you to be the best you can be but I truly love art and I want to be able long-term goal I want to be able to wake up every day and just create like what's on my heart my original ideas and just share with you guys I get to wake up and just draw and then people just want to buy whatever I decide to draw and then if you don't want to buy it you're just able to look at it and I don't have to worry about somebody else getting credit for it you know I'm saying so I'm thankful that the game done switched the art industry done switched up and made it where it's more safer for artists like me and a lot a lot of more other artists and that's what we're going to do man we're going to try to build not try we're going to build a legacy because my mind is made up I'm going to start really posting a lot of my original work but just know if you see my work online and it don't got the little the G world watermarks just know it's copyright and it's already minted as an NFT so I already got it protected so I ain't got to worry about nobody stealing but y'all finna see a lot of great work for me because I got a lot to offer man I thank father guy has really blessed me I know for a fact he have I've been an artist since I was born I knew exactly what I wanted to do with the rest of my life I thank y'all for the love and support thank you for watching this video make sure you stay tuned because Moe he coming soon and stay working hard if you are artists because your time coming to Moe he coming soon make sure you stay tuned and I'm out here thank you
