Struggling Artist

This guy is way too intense for me. I don't know how to describe him except that if Van Gogh lived amoungst us, Van Gogh is this guy and his life sucks. He also knows it sucks and is aware that putting absolute effort into something requires sacrifice in other areas of life which in turn can destroy a person.

Struggling artist generally refers to a person with an important message who uses art to convey that message and is unable to financially support oneself in the effort to produce the art.

I'm not a struggling artist because I'm financially stable and chose to be a slave of commercial art to process the ideas of others through the entertainment industry and I love it. It's challenging and requires so much creative vomit that I can barely grasp the tip of it.

However, if I had my own message, it certainly would be controversial. It would include politics, religion, and philosophy. It would be a test to apply everything I've learned to the real world and the world is waiting.
