There are no guarantees that if you work hard enough, or are talented enough, that you will be successful, be able to support yourself, or importantly, make a meaningful contribution to others. But in the meantime, if you are an artist, the art just comes – weather you like it or not- because you can’t stop it.

More luvvie fodder from the art crowd!

You don’t needs to be a artist to know which way the wind blows.
“weather you like it or not”?? That would be “whether” -

Have to work smart not just hard. It’s been my experience so far that knowing the right people and understanding the business of art is crucial. Something I’m still working through…
