I wonder if painting brings along a different kind of isolation. As an editor, you at least get to see people moving and talking in the video process. Me, I'm staring at a canvas for hours on end in the middle of the night inside of an isolated design studio located in a giant warehouse. It just doesn't feel right for me. The five minutes of fame are definitely great, but a sense of loneliness definitely takes a toll in the meanwhile. The audience for me these days include my classmates and professor.

When I edit my videos, I need my solitude to concentrate. But then there's showtime, the moment when my work is unveiled for all to see. The five minutes of fame makes up for the many hours of isolation. Transferring those videos online adds to the viewer appreciation factor and reduces the isolation aspect of it. I'm sure an art companion will help. But who is the audience for your work and what definite showtimes do you have? I’m not sure if you’re missing an art companion as much as an audience.
