Art is a fascinating industry with plenty of unexpected surprises. Some are pleasant. Some are frustrating. At the core is creation. The satisfaction you get when accomplishing something no one has done before is beyond description. The thrill of showing unprecedented art evokes happiness and fulfilment every occasion. There’s more to art though than creation. Marketing, branding, economics, organization,and entrepreneurship are vital too! An artist’s personal life is not always trouble-free. There’s no income while you’re struggling, and when success finally comes, you’re constantly on the move.
“I love what I do for a living, it’s the greatest job in the world, but you have to survive an awful lot of attention that you don’t truly deserve and you have to live up to your professional responsibilities. I’m always trying to balance that with what is really important.”-Tom Hanks
Balance in life may not seem very rock ‘n roll, but it staves off needless worries. Balance in work is important too. Balance 50% of your time on creation and the other half for the business of art. From action comes reaction. You receive the same energy you evoke. Act slow and things move on slow. Act fast and you will sky rocket high. Be alert as Asian ping-pong ball players. Respond quickly on every move you encounter. Imagine yourself participating in a competition. The slower you act, the latter you arrive.
