I’ve always believed there are three types of artist:

1. Those who don’t create enough and don’t experiment enough.
   
2. Those who don’t try to accept critique from anywhere and anyone.
3. Those who succeed and are able to earn enough money from their work to live on.

I  count myself among category 1… a fact I wish to change. I believe anyone can become category 3.

(I realise this may come across as a little mean to a few people, but I thought I’d give my opinion on the matter. I do hope they won’t take it the wrong way though as it’s not meant to be insulting.)
