It sort of sounds like that's what the people in the workshop were living. It doesn't mean it's easy - as we both know. I'm going to head on over and visit his blog - I like his style.

I've been following your blog for a while now - I love your photographs, and enjoy what you have to say in your posts. But the Bugs Bunny quote just confirmed that I am a true fan. :) Thanks for the great link, Dan.

Tis good reading and easily applies to artists of any medium. I don't believe most artists think through what it is they really can expect to achieve, what life style they are willing to accept, or how to live within their means. I spent almost ten years working a day job (a career position in the sciences) and selling my work before making the break. Even then, it was not my art alone that determined the move. It is hard to achieve success of any kind without a full-time commitment. It's just as hard to put yourself into the position of going full-time without having had some success.
