@graceb_art Agree about doing whatever you need to do to make art. Just sharing historical examples …

hard disagree on 1.
defaulting back to a normal job is often precisely what gives artists the freedom to keep honing and growing their practice.
at times, it isn’t either/or.
it also lets artists make the work they genuinely want to make, rather than the work collectors of the moment happen to reward.
btw, artists owe no one that disclosure, much less collectors who might dismiss them simply because they’re making a living while building their artistic career.

At dinner with Eric Haze, the parallels between the “Soul Artists” of the 1980s and the digital are movement are uncanny.
A few learnings:
1. Many of the artists from that scene defaulted back to their normal jobs when things started to dry up - and missed the opportunities that came later
2. Early patronage by a small number of collectors was focused around only a few of the artists in the scene - this had immense long term effects on who we remember (and still collect) today
3. The artists who stuck around met frequently to share ideas and work. They felt part of a collective and were bonded by a common spirit to push boundaries.
