The Business Of The Well-fed Artist
If I could chime in on what I’m over and done with as an artist, I’m through with the term “starving artist” and am ready to replace that with “well-fed artist.” A couple of days ago I spoke with a prospective client of mine who was a painter, and within 30 seconds I had heard all the stereotypes of the starving artist.
“I have no money.”
“I can’t start anything right now.”
“I have to go through some turmoil first.”
