The Dismay of Artists
To be an artist, you have to be the kind of person whose sole feel is to your muse. William Blake was poor throughout his life, died in poverty. He could see all these mediocre people playing the game and becoming rich, but he couldn't do it. He was too much of an authentic artist. And I wish all artists could have that. But the other thing about that is actually very few people are great artists. Most people are sort of peddlers of popular culture or, you know, kind of functional hacks That's not the same as great art.
