And in the same time, in my eyes "success" for true artists is NOT being recognised, fame, money, whatever. For me true success as an artist is in the act itself, if making art changes you, make you evolve as a human being, then this is a success. I see the classic success we think of as simply a byproduct, a metric saying how much you are able to fully express yourself; but not e reliable metric there are too many factors like marketing or others that plays a role in that byproduct.
