When I was growing up, I heard the term "Starving Artist" so much.
It's really sad that a lot of people can't make a living despite being amazingly talented.
And then you get people who, for whatever reason, can't stand someone profiting off their talent u8
I can understand that sometimes an artist stops making art for art's sake and just money, but saying no artist should profit ever is just dumb >Bu
Like...what world do people live in where money isn't required to live \u8</
I would love to make art for living and get lotsa money xD
There's an artist I follow that allegedly was getting $500,000 a year just through selling their art.
I wish I could do that.
I'll never forget when some random person told me "I think buying art is a waste of money!"
I don't think I even had commissions open and I never even talked to this person before o__O
They just came out of nowhere to tell me buying art is a waste of money >>
That's what I thought 8u
