T-Rex: Are you considering a career in the arts? If so, please carefully listen to this list of
T-Rex: Things To Know About A Career In The Arts!!
T-Rex: The main thing to be aware of is the disconnect from work to quality. In most other lines of work - salt mining for example - if you put in 8 hours of effort, you'll produce 8 hours worth of work. NOT SO in the arts! You might have a day when NOTHING works, where 8 hours of effort produces exactly 0 hours worth of work!
T-Rex: In fact, you will definitely have this experience
T-Rex: Not infrequently
Utahraptor: Plus there's the disconnect between work and popularity!
T-Rex: Oh, sure!
T-Rex: SO MANY THINGS factor into an artist or their work being noticed, and just about all of them are so far out of your control as to be COMPLETELY RANDOM. Great artists will die in obscurity, never to be recognized! Sucky artists will become super famous! It's out of everyone's control! There's nothing any of us can do!!
Off panel: ...but on the plus side you won't have to work in a salt mine.
