About 5% of all artists actually do that and nothing more...lucky bastards! But ,as mentioned above...Family/Work/domestic crap gets in the way! Nobody's gonna care what you do with your time,so YOU have to grab those reins,suck it up and just do it!! May i suggest coffee,cigarettes,and energy pills? Besides pure stoke and motivation from fellow arteests,that's what keeps me going! True, the time is torturous,especially when you're halfway done with a piece and can see it in your mind,but not in the physical world..The best pieces are the ones made for yourself,your loves,your interests,and your focus all come together effortlessly! Great thread!
