@darkw00d I understand what you mean, but here's the thing: And again, personally speaking, here...I am an artist who relies on catharsis and perception of the people around me to influence and inspire his work. I've tried taking commissions and it's (in general) too much pressure for me. I've created work that a lot of people buy, but I didn't make it *for* them, necessarily. I made it to make a statement about the world...about me...about life. If they want it, yes, I will find a way to sell it to them because I appreciate people who like what I'm doing. However, to turn that into a job would ruin the enjoyment of the most valuable thing in my entire life. I can't apply ambition to catharsis. I simply can't.
