P.R. IS A VERY BIG PART OF BECOMING FAMOUS AND WELL KNOWN, OFTEN IT IS DONE BY SOMEONE WHO WISHES TO PROMOTE THE ARTISTS WORK USUALLY WITH THE HOPE OF MAKEING SOME MONEY HIS SELF. SOMETIMES IT COMES ABOUT WHEN THEY FIND A PATRON WITH LOTS OF CASH WHO LIKES THEIR WORK AND SHOWS IT TO HIS FRIENDS AND IT BECOMES THE IN THING TO HAVE SOMETHING MADE BY THE ARTIST. RARELY THE ARTIST HIMSELF IS ABLE TO PRACTICE HIS CRAFT AND ALSO PROMOTE HIS WORK SUCESSFULLY.
IT IS NOT UNUSUAL THAT ARTISTS OF GREATER TALENT OFTEN ARE NEVER WELL KNOWN WHILE ONES OF LESSER TALENTS BUT MORE EGO OR CONECTIONS ARE MORE SUCESSFUL. THIS APPLYS TO ALL THE ARTS FROM MUSIC TO PAINTING, SCULPTING AND EVEN SWORD AND KNIFE MAKEING. PERHAPS SWORD SMITHS NEED AGENTS TOO AND ALL THE GRIEF THAT CAN COME FROM THAT
