Friday, I had the opportunity to speak to high school students. At the end of one of the sessions a young artist asked, "Are there ways for artists to make money?" Sadly, my first thought was that artists are typically "terrible businessmen."
Many artists struggle because there is so much of "them" in their art. It can be a really painful process to put your work in the marketplace and have it treated it like a product rather than a piece of yourself.
The thing is that it doesn't have to be that way. As Samax identifies, in many ways it is simply an idea that artists have bought into.
Samax's piece struck a chord with many, because it went viral.
