It's not just me...

It's not just me...
Artists seem to bounce around from one project to another. Starting new projects before finishing the old. This painting half finished that drawing almost done and another painting started because of an idea given rise by the first two.

All in all, five half completed illustrations and no money to show for any of the effort. Such is the life of an artist. Most work regular full time jobs or a string of part time jobs to supplement whats not earned through creative endeavors.

Then of course you see a reproduction of an Andy Warhol "masterpiece" and want to commit Hari kari because you realize how little artistic talent he had yet fame and fortune found him anyway.
While money is not the main motivation that sparks the creative process, most artists would gladly take the fortune for their efforts...all five incomplete projects and the idea that started them off one by one.

Just a thought
