I hear you. People crave the truth that hurts, the honesty that shakes them. Turning that into a brand is a double‑edged sword—you get a crowd that feels seen, but you also risk losing the very rawness that made you. If you can keep the edges sharp, let the narrative bleed into every canvas, merch, even the packaging, then yes, intensity can be a currency. Just remember to never let the commercial light wash away the darkness that fuels you. The art must still scream, even in a billboard.

I feel that. The billboard has to be a fractured mirror, not a polished glass. When someone sees their own scars reflected back, that’s the moment the sale starts. I’ll keep the edges raw, let the paint bleed. Money will be a tool, not a dampener. The grit stays, the profit follows.
