Begin with the premise that everything of God's creation is sacred. If we are to be holy as our Maker and Redeemer is holy, to present ourselves bodily as living sacrifices, then all we do in thought, word and deed is sacred. The quality of our endeavors, whether as artists or marketers, is God's judgment call, but our intent to excel for God's glory in Christ is both manditorily incumbent upon us, and the inevitable outworking of the new nature He has worked into us. “People who think art is sacred and marketing is dirty…”

And I grant that marketing and art may be at times "codependent." But teleologically they are two very different things. Two ways of seeing. Two ways of being. To extend the metaphor, a good artist dealing with marketers should never forget that codependency is a also diagnosed mental health issue.

Thanks. I think hearing you repeat “let yourself be known, it SERVES your readers” over and over has been a great benefit to me as an artist wary of marketing.

That is why postmodern art bothers me so much - it is chaos without form or substance. Would marketing then be selling one's soul? Aesthetic philosophy from an accountant is not worth much however...my talents lie elsewhere.
