>> Obviously we have to pay the bills, and if you can pay the bills in a way
that you're using your hand and your creativity I would recommend that.
So that if you're real passion is to be a painter or a sculptor and
but your day job is doing some graphic designs for you know a music company
or advertising company, then you're still using your creative juices; you're still having
to figure out composition and design elements, and I think that's the best way to go.
My advice to any young artist or someone contemplating an art--
a career in the arts would be to get as much background as you can in business
and in marketing so that you understand that.
And certainly that's not our strong suit as artists; I mean we're creative people
so it can be certainly bartering with someone you know that can do your accounting for you,
someone that can do your marketing, someone who can make a website, certainly getting someone
to coach you, anyone that just knows business.
