I have respect for those who make money at art and do it well and smartly, because that commercial aspect keeps the world going and running, in a sense.
It's just such a pleasure to bring a talent you respect to the world.
Many Japanese painters and calligraphers would change their names intentionally to keep their relationship to the art always fresh. This way, others' expectations can be avoided.
It's hard to be perfect, It really is. I keep learning things after I've already bungled it.
