blog art anyone?

I know I might not be able to offer an academic view on this, I am simple minded and my logic has a simple quality. For me, art on screen is mentally and aesthetically very real and very valuable. It is priceless when it comes to critique, feedback, praise and insult, exposure and creation. Sometimes I create pieces especially for the kagablog. When my muses party too hard and they all lie with hangovers, the blog serves as perfect inspiration to create something. Blogs are muses, critics, art communities…but it’s not exactly putting bread on the table. Is the only way to survive as a fine artist to make a name for yourself by hanging work in a gallery, where people actually enter to potentially go an buy something? If your work has previously been posted on the internet, are your works still ‘ exclusive’ to the ones who roam the galleries? Is it like a photograph or a print with one print made instead of 1000? Is posting on the net not like making a 1000 prints and exclusively exhibiting in a gallery like making one print? work has more commercial value in a gallery. I think. The tangible still has the biggest impact on the eye.

I don’t know, I just want to know.
