I am a struggling artist. I hope to get into the music industry. I am trying to make more money. I don't want a job with a boss.
I have a cat and two dogs. I painted a picture of my pets. I am a painter. I study art at community college. I volunteer in my community. I was a starving artist for 20 years. I hope to be a nurse.
So are you going back to college to train to be a nurse? I hope so! I want to finish my current art courses and save up some money first. Money has been tight lately but it's getting better with time. How has art income been for you lately? Just horrible!! I can't anything going on. I am just flat broke. You know that feeling, right?? Oh, I've been there many times before. You should try finding some other sources for money because the art industry can be fickle sometimes. Is there anything else you might have an interest in? Only music!! That is my thing. How did you endured so many years as an strugling artist? I had to rely on a lot of help from family and friends a lot of the time. I also worked some odd jobs and had to use some help from the government. They were tough years but eventually rewarding Your  life story is really inspiring, but working odd jobs is hard for me.I can't stand someone bossing me around That makes sense. I even feel the same way sometimes with my professors at community college. What type of music are you trying to make? I am a jazz musician, and that is the problem!! Jazz is not very popular nowadays. What about you? What is your style of painting? Oh cool! I love jazz! I currently mostly paint portraits, but in the past I've also done impressionist paintings. Who are some of your favorite musicians? The classics one. Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald. And your favorite painters are? My two favorites are Van Gogh and Picasso! And I really love Salvador Dali too. Do you ever go to jazz shows?
