good to read

BUSINESS/ART Article

This article is interesting. I especially like how he challenges artists to do what he is saying that the business world should do. Embrace different mentalities to further everything.  That ending shows that he isn't trying to enable artists to grow the paper thin condescending attitude that I and many people involved in the creative process I know feel about aspects of the other side of things.  Artists do need to be business savvy, the quality of the hustle can make a much bigger difference on profitability than quality of actual the art.  The attitude that an artist needs to be a businessman isn't new, you find it out the minute you decide you want to make money off your art.  We all go to an office (cubicle/studio), the money is just a bit one sided.
