Shown above is a painting from the show “Atame” by French artist Miss Van. If it looks a lot like other paintings by Miss Van that’s because it is. Some artists achieve fame by fluke, others achieve fame through extraordinary talent and effort. A significant number of others are recognized because they are recognizable. Keep doing artwork in the same quirky, easily distinguished style over and over and there’s a good chance that sooner or later you will become famous, irrespective of the merit of your works.
