The term “starving artist” isn’t just a joke. It’s a reality. A reality that describes the pain behind creatives who want to make it and receive adoration for their work. Art can be beautiful, but the creative journey can be a pain in the butt. The struggle of buying materials and executing your vision can be a real struggle. If you’re a creative, you probably know exactly what I mean. 12. Having one of those days when you’re just not feeling it. 11. Talking major crap about your talent, but being lost inside. 10. Knowing exactly what you want to do, but having the hardest time translating it into art. 9. Not having enough money for supplies. 8. Working with not-so-creative people who think you understand their language when they don’t even know what they’re talking about. 7. Those times when it seems that absolutely no one gets your vision.
