I have a friend who writes a blog that doesn't get nearly enough traffic. Tom is a bona fide artist. I mean he makes his living at it.
His post today includes the following:
One of the hardest questions for me to answer, in a casual conversation, is "what kind of art do you do" - Archi-structurally reasoned multilevel urbanistic pattern layers influenced by time and process and informed by the mid-century action painters of Abstract Expressionism and the urban thinking of Nikos Salingaros and Jane Jacobs and the visual artifacts of theoretical physics, sub-urban planning, religious creed, and abstract cartography - is neither easy to explain or understand in the 2 min. someone will actually give you their attention.
I'm not sure I'll ever appreciate Tom's posts like I should, but I'm certainly richer for reading them.
Making a living by doing what most would hope only to make a successful hobby, is, perhaps, the highest form of entrepreneurship.
