To those who say, “Get a real job”, I say look around! The home you live in
started as a drawing on a piece of paper by an artist. The vehicle you drive
started as a drawing on a piece of paper by an artist. The clothes you have on
all started out as drawings on a piece of paper by an artist. Art is a vital part
of our lives. It’s all around us and without artists this world wouldn’t exist. Not
only is being an artist a real job, it’s the most important job of all.
