Sounds to me like you have found a pretty healthy balance.

I know a few artists who are basically "commercial marketing machines" and one of the things I have noticed (at least among the painters) is that they very rarely present new work anymore, but do a roaring trade in selling $30 prints of everything.

Of course, "to each other own." But it never felt right to me.

I mostly see social media as a way to keep your name "out there." And I don't want to see pictures of people's lunch and then "here's a pair of really cool shoes" and then "oh look! My left nostril!" This Steemit account enjoys only modest success because it's focused on ART and CREATIVITY. If you follow Red Dragonfly, you're not going to get recipes one day , baby pictures the next and poetry the day after.

Maybe that works for some, if they don't have any kind of "brand" they are trying to establish. Which, of course, is precisely what artists are trying to do.
