Artists are supposed to make art because they feel they have to, not because they want everyone to know their name.

Hi, artist here. That part is true, I do create stuff just because I like to. And it's great!

I do feel very fortunate that no law requires me to publish this stuff. Publishing works is a surprisingly complicated process that a lot of people don't really think about. There's a lot of surprising sources of headaches; for example, some people have very strange ideas about how art should be distributed.
