>>3355009In my first post I said I draw for a living. And this is my end goal. Drawing is my job. That's my end goal when it comes to "art".
That was my reply to OP's pretentious (IMO) statement.
But I understand what you're saying. I know money and materialism don't bring happiness. Making art I personally like, the reaction of my clients and fans to it, and getting better at it is what really makes me happy. Well, at least if we speak only about the craft.
What is really meaningful to me are the people in my life. Much more than my job.
