For every 1 artist 🎨 is born, 100 judges are made. Every artist hopes for a good living doing what is loved, but is hindered by these common obstacles:
- Your traditional parents reject your art career proposal because you’ll end up homeless.
- The art subject has the lowest priority in schools and pursing art is not recommended by teachers.
- There aren’t many job opportunities and most companies pay a potato wage.
- People believe that art is created with telepathy and cost-free.
In most cases, those are accurate depictions of reality. However, there is always a greener grass on the flip side of the coin.
Find and do what you love, leave no regrets.
In reality, most artists and creatives are playing Survival on Insane mode, so trading their personal “career” for a corporate “job” that pays bills is the safest way out.
My long term mission here is to overturn that predicament so you could have an option for a “lifestyle”. Slowly but surely.
Turning from a “job” you detest to a “lifestyle” you crave requires you to take risks and overcome the pains and tribulations during the long-winding “career” development process. I have led by the example of establishing a huge reservoir of digital imaging series that stood out in front of multiple great clients, achieving creative and financial success. I believe that everyone deserves a better shot in this domain.
