Shared taste.
No matter how unique your taste is, you're not alone. Your taste might be eccentric, sure, but it's not exclusive. There are communities who like stapling bread to trees, writing horror renditions of Garfield comic strips and carrying around sand in their pockets. Shared taste should be hugely liberating to a creative individual. Knowing others will like the things you like gives your the freedom to create the things you like. Your work might not garner an audience of millions. But, your work will find enough people to support its creation. So, instead of creating for the masses, focus your attention on creating for yourself.
