“At some point, when you do an activity you love, you might ask, “Could I do this for a living?” The next question is, what would you have to compromise? Maybe nothing. You can make money making art, and you don’t have to sell out to do it. This won’t just happen, though. In Melissa’s words, you have to “make friends with the business and marketing side of things.” You have to be willing to do the job of an artist, which includes more than just making things—it means charging what you’re worth.” (Jeff Goins, Real Artists Don’t Starve)
