How to make a living as an artist 🐘

One of the better blog posts I have read in a while. Going into depth about the motivation, and how to practice the “trade” etc.

Being an artist always seemed like “not-a-job”, and appeared to me like something fueled by motivations different than those animate people to hold a job or non-pecuniary reasons. This blog does a good job of uncovering that layer of ashes.

Another thought I have been mulling over the past few days is — You must develop your own unique view of the world. Find the “gold” seam, a unique perspective that gives you a leverage over one more affairs of the world. Art, original art is definitely a unique perspective of the world.
