If you were an artist, what kind of artist will you be?
I am guessing that you mean earning a living from being an artist. I have never sold any pictures and don’t really want to. The trouble with making a living from painting pictures (or writing music, plays etc etc) is that in order to sell you have to pander to popular taste. It might sound like an easy life selling pictures but it is like most jobs, it involves repetition and sometimes painting things you are not very interested in. I know of an artist who earns quite good money but wishes that he didn’t have to paint yet another landscape with poppies in, or another crashing wave, just because they sell really well. There are musicians that have to churn out rock and roll type stuff when they are really interested in weird ambient sounds. So the kind of artist I would like to be is one who doesn’t have to make things that are nice and pretty for money, I like to paint and draw things that many would find apocalyptic, depressing, political and reflecting things that make me angry or sad. I need to keep my day job!
