So many artists worry about selling out. But they don't know what that means. Selling out is when you have agreed to do something that goes against your personal values, in exchange for money. Period. It's different for everyone.

If a client doesn’t value your work, then you shouldn’t sell it to them cheap, or trade it, & definitely never give it away.

Unknown artists, creating what they are told, give their copyrights to the corporations that they work for. The artists that are making a difference, under their own name, in their own style, on their own terms, must forever own their own work, spiritually and legally

Painting is a messy business.

Sometimes you get tired of all the pats on the back and you just want to say "where's the money".

You aren't doing anything wrong, it's just hard.
