news flash... artist are not starving anymore.

Yesterday I was reading through the profiles of my followers on Twitter. This is a tedious yet very important thing that I do from time to time to stay in-tine with the people that are connecting with me through the platform. And it's 100% worth every click. I ran across a profile and the person says they are a "starving artist" and quickly I felt myself saying... 

"How unfortunate..." 

"Heck... I would NEVER want to be an artist..." 

"That sucks..." 

"Wow... artist don't get paid???" 

Then I had to stop myself... And I quickly realized that it was this one simple condition, "starving" -  that has probably kept many from tapping into the creative genius on the inside of them. It's this condition, "starving" that keeps some people from reaching their full potential. What if, just WHAT IF Pablo Picasso thought this? What if he said...

"The HELL with starving... I am getting a job on a farm..." 

We have all heard this saying FOREVER and it's JUST dawning on me that the idea of "starving" is a pretty scary thing and I am sure nobody WANTS to do it. So today, I am posting a news flash...

For starters I consider myself to be an artist, and I know I am not starving ... But let me list a few that we all KNOW are eating pretty good...
