The Importance of Pursuing Prestige as an Artist

As an artist, we need to start seeing this as a business and less about prestige. At the end of the day, when we are being hired by clients, we are providing a very valuable service. There is no life-changing moment in art. It doesn't matter how good or how famous you become. You're still hustling just as hard as a guy like me who's never pursued the fame. And if people look at the stories of Frazetta, for example, to the day he died, his wife was trying to sell his art so that they could live the lifestyle that they wanted to live.
