Me too! Vincent had really sad life and I wish he had experienced the appreciation he is having now... he never knew he could be this famous today. :(
Thank you!
Well, you can always become one. I don't think it's ever too late. And it's easier for you to learn since you are a filmmaker already, and a writer. You just need to learn the technicalities in telling stories in still. And also being a filmmaker is awesome! I love to be one as well :D
I think it was more out of greed ( why I thought of doing stuff like this ), as I've always struggled making money as a creative ( first as a filmmaker, now as a writer ). I've got crypto investments now though and a book to focus on. I make my own drawings too - as you might have seen - but to call them art is probably exaggerated hahaha!
I actually never felt like a artist, even when I made films, more like a versatile creative. I can't help but create. If I don't, I get depressed.
Filmmakers are artists too, artists aren't only for the painters/sculptors. Film is an art too remember! :D
And I definitely understand that, I don't think it's greed but survival. I'm only lucky to have resources for me to be able to practice my art as a full time and make my way without having to struggle financially, but I understand why many go with the more stable jobs. You can always practice your passion later on.
True that. I think it was an inferiority complex / not enough self-love that I'm still working on rebuilding. The film stuff I made was pretty artsy, definitely not mainstream. I feel my current writing appeals to a broader audience, although it's still very much me.
Survival instead of greed. I love that pov! Will remember it. Thank you for making me aware of my words ( you sound like the dino in my stories and the person I try to be these days haha )
I am actually self-employed since the Summer of 2016 and full time into crypto since May 2017. I am still struggling a little but I'm also more abundant than ever before.
The next step is to build various passive income streams. My book will be one of those. Future creative workshops another one.
Thanks for your thoughtful reply and have a great day! ✨
