EP 65: Do You Need to be a Bad Person to be a Good Artist?

Art Problems

How selfish can you be without turning into a jerk no one wants to be around? And is being a jerk an acceptable price if the result is getting what you want?

I like to think the answer to that question is no, but I dive into this topic on today's episode of Art Problems because we all know artists who aren't all that generous but have a good deal of success.

And it's at least worth exploring why we have to deal with so many means yet successful people in our lives!
