The Arrival
After uploading my pieces to Saatchi Art, something unexpected happened.
Viewers started piling in.
The numbers kept climbing.
Every hour, every day — higher and higher.
Within five days, I had already passed the view counts of artists who had been on the platform for years.
By day thirteen, I was already in the 2,000s.
Every single canvas was getting attention.
Every piece was alive.
Views after views after views.
That’s when I knew I had to make my next move.
I went back to Home Depot and bought two big pieces of canvas — drop cloth, fabric, whatever you want to call it.
I came home and painted the two largest canvases in my entire collection.
And once those pieces were done, I knew it was time to take control.
So I opened my own website — CussArt.com — to attract the viewers, to bring people into my world, and to build something that wasn’t dependent on anybody else’s platform.
And that brings me here.
Right here.
This is the arrival.
Where the numbers proved the work.
Where strangers became an audience.
Where the experiment became a story.
Where art turned into momentum.
And where CUSS stepped into something bigger than the beginning.
