@King Majesty…. I can see where you misunderstand why it is that artist create. Your comments while they were well intentioned, are bogus. To be an artist requires that you create firstly for your own self expression, and then if it is noticed and has a healing of the world , great, but to create with an expectation of being appreciated is ugly, it makes one a beggar. Selling any type of art require 90% marketing and 10% inspiration and perspiration. There are really no rules for getting exposure, in fact the more original the more exciting. Walcott is great but lets not create a monster out of the man with your pitiful begging. Walcott is a genius and not a beggar.

The man in the street may know of you, but do they really know or care deeply about your significant contributions to the culture I think not. Some of these self-proclaimed aristocrats are only attaching themselves” just to say”. Like they say make hay while the sun still shines, so continue to use the many avenues to expose your work inspite of the lackluster jubilee of the average St Lucian especially the Face Book, I – Phone Generation.
