You know what, I'd rather get cash than make original "bootiful" art that will get me recognition. Trying to make something new, and unique won't feed my family immediately. That's just reality. No matter how you paint it, money is what makes the world go round. I'd rather get paid now than paid never.

Sure I'll be doing crap shit that isn't worth putting on a museum, but who gives a shit? I don't care, I draw shit for a living. Call me a corporate cog, but I won't be poor, and that's what matters to me. I'm a money-hungry asshole who wants a paycheck.

You can follow your passion in life, but don't let it overtake everything else. Because "bleeding" for your art isn't worth it in this day and age. Those that do are more of the exception rather than the rule, because there are millions of artists out there. But only a few of them are ever recognized for their progressive art.

And if you have a dream you wanna achieve? USE THOSE HARD EARNED CASH TO DO IT AND BECOME A MACHINE OUTSIDE OF THE COG.
