I've never really got "art" like that. I don't know why / who decides "ohh he/she is so good, lets value all their work in millions"
You only need one thing to be a successful artist and it isn't talent.
My next door neighbour is an artist. (Ismet Doğan) I have no idea if he has real talent.
Oh, all you need is a buyer.
A friend is an ex- opera singer. Sang at Covent Garden with some geezer called Plácido Domingo.
But when young she was told "you're very good, but you'll never be a star" or words to that effect, that she didn't have the charisma.
AFAIK van Gogh was basically a nobody in his own lifetime too, before his untimely death.
So there's another route you could take....

Do you mean that I should recommend death to achieve fame?
Sadly, these days she would trade missing out on fame for not having rapidly progressing PCA Alzheimer's

Untimely death is always a good route to stardom.

One for Taipan?
"When the Dartford Tunnel opened in November 1963, joining Kent to Essex via a road beneath the river, traffic volumes were significantly lower than they are today. But it was still thought that the subaquatic journey was too dangerous to be done on a pushbike. At the time, there was only one tunnel — the second was added in 1980, and the neighbouring bridge didn't open until 1991 — so initially, traffic ran in both directions in a single shaft."

There still is a crossing service for cyclists.

Is that just the pool or are they building a bunker for senior ISIS people?
