i gotta say i am envious of the artists who are just like "yo i'm an artist" and that's it, like they don't even pretend to be Serious People™

like "yes i am an artist but i am also a strategery consultant" like okay which one are you i don't mean that you can't be both but i'm more like envious of the people who bill 100% as artists and could very well be doing strategy but don't even pretend to have a serious side

to me the quintessential thing about an artist is that you elect them because they are who they are so the question to me is, how do we get to the place where you hire me for who i am rather than some weird abstract triangulated reason

i've been thinking a lot about the general problem of finding people who vibe with you, and i'm starting to think that "features", for lack of a better term, are a poor source of vibes
