The sad assumptions about artists...

Feeling a little melancholy this evening.  I should be able to make a living with my art, right?  Other people do.  It's sad that people don't take artists very seriously, considering how necessary we are.

What?  You don't believe me?

Stand up.  Right now.  Take a look around you.  That computer, the stuff on the desktop, the mouse, the desk, the chair you just had your butt in, the room you're in, the windows, your clothes (yes, even those threadbare socks), your coffee cup, the light fixtures, the light bulbs, the tape dispenser, the paperclips, and everything else around you (yes, EVERYTHING), started life as a drawing.  Some artist, somewhere, designed it all.  (Except God, I suspect he didn't start with paper first, but who can say for sure?)  Consider your toilet and the poor fellow who sculpted the first one... yet where would we be without it?
