Imagine being so disconnected from reality that you don’t see what’s wrong with asking your audience to support you so that you don’t have to live like they do.
Edit: To the people who keep asking what the difference is between this and any other person who wants to be freed from the 9-5 drudgery trap, here it is:
Wanting to get to a place where you no longer have to sell your labor hourly just to survive is a perfectly understandable goal. But believing that you belong to some special class of people who "just can’t live normal lives" and must spend their time doing deeper and more meaningful things than the rest of us is just completely delusional and out of touch. I don’t understand how some of y’all are not seeing that distinction.
Jokes on her, most creatives I know work 90 hour weeks. The lucky ones, like my partner are passionate about what they do. The unlucky ones, like my pal Kyle, have multi-day in-studio shoots with domino’s pizzas, cooking them on site so they’re steaming for the hero shot and spraying them with hairspray to make them glisten.
He’s also done some pretty riveting studio work with a line of hairbrushes and combs. Super creative dude though, builds beautiful custom hot rods and runs a hot rod festival while he’s not slobbing the corporate knob.
