Real artists free of the tedium of money can use, now, all of society as an idea factory.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Artists change how we see the world - and that can have value in the way people do business.
I believe that artists should be paid for their creativity. There's no other industry where people can come in and take what you create for free and give it away for free and that's acceptable.
Artists usually don't make all that much money, and they often keep their artistic hobby despite the money rather than due to it.
A lot of artists are much more concerned about how their work is used and how it's disseminated. That, to artists, is as important as the money, for some people.
The truth is, we haven't really figured out yet how artists are going to thrive in modern mass societies. We're all experiments.
The world doesn't need an artist who shows reality as it is.
I'd rather have people really be able to step back and get their money's worth and look at me as a true artist than somebody who is just regurgitating other material.
You see so many artists who are so talented end up living sad, empty lives. This industry takes so much out of you that without the accountability and leaving God in the center, you can be left so empty and void.
The industry needs to be run by artists, because we are the only people that care about art.
Nowadays you need so much money to be able to launch a new artist, notably in America; you would hardly believe the sums involved.
