Lennon Bone argues you're an artist right now, not when you quit your job. If you spend 30% of your time making art, you're full-time in commitment. Calling yourself an artist shapes who you become and what you earn later.
Listen, if you're having trouble calling yourself an artist because you're not full time, I just want to encourage you to do it anyway. And why? Because it's not about what you've done but who you're becoming. You got to believe in this. I mean I have to believe in this, right? If you're doing the work, you're full time even if you're not getting paid yet, even if 70% of your time is in your regular job and you're taking the other 30% to put into your art like you're still full time. Making money is not what happens when you're an artist. It's what happens because you believe you're an artist. That and a whole bunch of other stuff. But this is a motivational video, damn it. Okay, so if you'd like more videos around marketing your art from a place of connection rather than getting attention, please follow along. I'd love to have you.
