Eventually, he found his true medium—ballpoint pen art—which he describes as another way of writing stories through visuals.

Several Ways to Promote Your Art Online and Offline by Artmiabo

Several Ways to Promote Your Art  Art is truly in the eyes of the beholder, who love what they see immediately, but the purchasing of the Art is a different ball game.  People tend to make a decision to buy your art after several views that is the way it works.   For some fewer views and they buy, while others several views before a collector makes a purchase.             Abstract Flower Painting, Wall Art,  by Miabo Enyadike The reason for these disparities is sometimes, name recognition could prompt a quick purchase or good presentation of your Art could be a factor.  While on the other hand poor presentation, costing, need, and relevance could lead to delays.  The issues here are relative, there is no quick magic to sell your art, you just have to put it out there for people to see and decide for themselves.  I have been fortunate to be in the Art business for over 20 years, so I have a...

Yet most remain financially unstable, underpaid, or dependent on sporadic opportunities. This is not a coincidence. It is structural. The uncomfortable truth is this: talent does not create income. Markets do. Artists are taught to believe that quality work automatically attracts collectors, galleries, and opportunities. This belief is not just wrong, it is economically damaging. It keeps artists passive in a system that rewards visibility, positioning, and trust far more than raw ability. The art world does not run on fairness. It runs on signals. The Lie Artists Are Taught Early From art school to open calls, artists are trained to focus almost excl...
