4. Unique Originals
Here be masters and masterpieces.
In our space, we are blessed with the presence of many such artists, and you would be wise to learn about them, meet them, show them some respect and take in all the knowledge you possibly can from them.
It does not matter if your styles vibe, if they have a palette you despise, or they don’t even communicate well in your native tongue. Learn from these people when you can.
They are at the bottom of the pyramid because they have put in every damned thing it takes up to and almost including their own souls to get to where they are. They didn’t just wake up flicking brushes like some do. They didn’t see another cool piece of art made of cut up credit cards and go “shit that must be easy!” without thinking it through (how the fuck does he get all of those credit cards?).
The artists producing unique originals all share common traits. You’ll find them in Mr. Jones’ article on success. They have spent time and more time learning and doing and doing and doing to get to where they are today. Here are a couple of those masters just for illustration.
We all know about lists of artists and how incomplete they can be.

Decentralized Digital Flag 2020, Gisel X, 2020
Gisel X is an amazing and accomplished artist who has really mastered the element of light. She has in fact chosen to paint original works as directly with light as possible, capturing it straight from high end charged coupled devices (CCDs) or what you and I think of as “digital camera imagers”. The results are extremely vibrant and fleeting moments which must have been almost infinitesimally small at the time of their creation, but appear to shine on brightly forever in the final result.
