The Mind Creative March 2014 ANGUS: Although you cannot treat working as an artist as a 9 to 5 job I do force myself to try and essentially work full-time hours. I do not have a strict timetable and take breaks when I feel I need them. Sometimes I work through the night and other days I awake early to work. I would generally work about 40 hours a week on my own practice. Like any profession you may not always enjoy waking up, and getting to work but I believe that being an artist is a privilege and that every day’s work should be approached with that in mind. 45
