The day I started "painting" (3 years ago)

[@CaseyDoesEverything]

Practice makes better and you’re making incredible art but never forget that your best is yet to come keep pursuing your craft brother

[@nbultman_art]

Ah dude thank you!! Means so much from you, thanks for supporting my art. Lets keep it rolling!

[@MrGanjie]

Only two years and you're already amazing man Cant wait to see maybe 5 years 👏🏼

[@michellemyers8439]

Look how far you have come in such a short time. WOW I love that we have the same story. I was moving into a new apt. (30 yrs ago) Buying furniture I was looking at even cheap.prints...WHAT? I told my patner...I will paint myself before I pay that kind of $$. She and friends laughed hysterically. They all now have my paintings on their walls. (They and their friend then even began buying.) Your more recent stuff is pure genius!

[@nbultman_art]

[@michellemyers8439]

Pretty much the way I started "pouring ".😅 But I have returned to my original love of working with textures.

[@nbultman_art]

I’ll eventually get the hopefully 😂

[@chrissartain4430]

[@ChristianLachance]

What Kind of paint do you use. Since its expensive, to you have tricks for prices ?

[@BlackStarASMR]

I don't consider pouring to be art, because you simply pour paint over a canvas and the result is always something that looks like an oil carpet. Since everyone does that, it is also the least innovative thing to do. Nick Bultman combined this with a more "dynamic" way of putting the pouring paint on canvas and then works with tapes for the other parts of the painting that are not poured. He probably uses AI technology to give it a 3D look. He has a good technique to make it clean-looking, clean modern, abstract art. But what he does best is what most successful artists are good at: Marketing. You can see that he is using online media, especially social media and a website to reach billions of people potentially. And all of that he does in a very professional way. Perhaps he was a professional in some kind of business that is in some way linked to marketing or webdesign or something like that. It is all professional-looking. I don't know if he had any friends or contacts in the art market before, but it seems very likely. Relations and networking is important for art marketing too. In the end everything comes down to get your feet into the art market and be good at marketing yourself. Then the first paintings will be sold and at some point you can paint whatever you want and your paintings sell, simply because of your selling history. Merchants/Traders/Salespeople buy paintings dependent mostly on the price other paintings of the same artist sold for. This is how the art market works. I often like to use the following exaggerated phrase, but which has a core truth to it: At some point an artist can basically poop on canvas and it will sell. This phrase makes clear that the art market is crazy, it is not so much about skill, but about marketing and selling history. The art market is irrational. Many skilled artists will not manage to sell their paintings, because they somehow don't do the marketing stuff or somehow don't do the marketing stuff well, and because they lack the relations, friends or contacts in the art market and because they might be bad at networking. I don't know about you, but whenever I remind me of the fact that those Pollock "action" "paintings" sell for hundreds of millions of dollars, while in fact it is simply paint randomly and chaotically spilled on a medium (I guess Pollock used wood panels or something like that) and it requires no skill to do that. Monetary success on the art market and in the art world is equivalent to being good at marketing yourself, being good at networking and luck in the way to contact the right persons at the right time or to already have relations to people in the art market. That's all. It doesn't matter what too much what kind of art you produce. Remember the artist who simply glued a banana to the wall and declared that to be art? It's ridiculous. To me that's not art, because it doesn't require skill to glue a banana to a wall with tape.

Monkey😂😂😂

[@nbultman_art]

No ai used, zero connections in the professional art world during the early parts of my journey. I have a business/engineering background and know the importance of marketing and branding. Artists need to know how to market themselves or else they can’t grow awareness of their work. I’ve learned how to do this as well as always had an interest in it. Sure this isn’t traditional painting, it’s pour painting. It’s extremely ironic that you commented on this specific video of my honest day 1 efforts of starting this journey. The fact that you cannot believe that my “rise to success” was without connections or money laundering shows an extreme cynicism, limited worldview, and lack of understanding of my situation.

[@BlackStarASMR]

@@nbultman_art I never said that I cannot believe that your "rise to success" was without connections. I just said it would be very likely. You said that was not the case. Ok. Excuse me, but I don't have a too much limited worldview. To me it sounds like extreme cynicism when you say that I would have a limited world view, based on one single comment from me. You don't know me. I guess I was right guessing that you come from a professional business/marketing background. Congratulations to your success.

[@nbultman_art]

@@BlackStarASMR I just felt like you were minimizing my success by claiming that I only likely had success due to connections, ai-generated renders, and good marketing. I read your message more carefully and can see that you weren’t being minimizing. I apologize 🤝

[@BlackStarASMR]

@@nbultman_art Well, it's a huge part of the success.
