On Art And Advertising
Posted on June 1, 2009 - Filed Under Random
In the beginning of your career, there’s no money in art. The same is true with a career in advertising. But at least in advertising, people see your work.
And you get a steady paycheck.
It’s funny. I know so many talented artists in the advertising industry. All of them used to create art, but only some of them still do it.
I wonder what would happen if they could create art full time. Would some of them succeed? Or would everyone need the regimented structure of a steady paycheck, a to-do list at work and a boss to motivate them to make ads?

Update: One of my ad/artist friends is part of an exhibit this Thursday at the Gladstone. Come on down if you’re interested.
