Art has no Market Cap

As we head out the ides of March, I wanted to put one last thing into your hearts today:

Art doesn't have a saturated market. What I mean is that the art market can never get to the point of being actually "full".

Take rugs, for instance. They have a market cap. Most of us need only one or two per room, and that's it. As much as I adore rugs, my craving is satiated with just a few.

My need for a rug is fulfilled with a few.

My need for art, books, and music is never finished.

This is the benefit of being a creative, our market never actually caps out. ​

Consider the auto industry:

Ever noticed the relentless marketing barrage when a new car hits the streets? Why? Because the car market teems with options, but our individual demand is limited (unless you're a car collector, of course). The demand for new cars is based on upgrades and better features, not on the fact that we need more cars.

Artists, however, aren't shackled by such constraints. Though some may cry "the market is flooded with creatives," the art market has horizons that are boundless, ever-growing, and constanting transforming.

I don't see fellow artists as adversaries for we are not in the same boat as traditional entrepreneurs or business folk. Instead, we sail the seas of community, not competition.

      The art world thrives on diversity and the unique perspectives of individual artists. Although we can all use the same tools, it's our own artistry and creativity on how we use those tools that define our careers as artists. ​

Everyone can create, but not everyone can make art.

Take inspiration from the world around you, and make it your own. That's the power all artists have. This power to interpret and create is something I see happen everyday in web3.
