I myself do feel quite tortured most of the time and live in a small studio apartment rationing out treats to my cat , working in a studio without water, make shift toilets, shhhhhh and shhhhhh endless cup o noodle. Some souls may better be working both sides of their brains.

And those of us who make our living as artists DO hope you will find something exciting or intriguing to take home with you because as Richard pointed out we are in business, after all!

The idea that we live in squalor and eke out a dim existence for the sake of art is so..well 19th century. <br />To create art is a joyful experience,though not always easy. When was reaching deep into your soul ever easy?
