And as a fan, how is a poor imitation supposed to compare with the real live artist who infuses their storytelling with empathy and experience?

Reposted by Adam VernerDawn Xiana Moon @dawnxianamoon.bsky.social · 10/01/2024I've said it elsewhere, but the open secret is that in most of the arts, 90% of artists who are FT with no other jobs (teaching counts as a separate job because it's not making the actual art) are being supported by a partner/family. You can get lots of awards & cred & still struggle to pay rent. 1144
