First, how and why would someone get an interview on the news to learn about life in rural canada? Do they hold auditions? Does the writer know someone who works in the network? Secondly, what does the news interview have to do with him being an artist? That makes no sense since the topic was growing up gay in a rural community. Then he talks about how opportunities just come to him once he focused on his art. I’ve been focused on my art for years and every opportunity I had to work hard for. Never just came to me. I had to find them. Finally there’s the bit about the working part time for a magazine. Great. Good for him. They don’t “GIVE” those positions away. You have to apply for them and go through an interview process. “Vance” makes it sound like anyone can just quit their job, go do art and live happily ever after. Truth is most photographers have full time jobs that have nothing to do with photography. Same with other “arts” related business’. DJ, Photographer, Painter, Sculpter. While there are a very few who manage to make a living off their art, the majority of people who do have to have another job to make ends meat. Either this kid is rich, and can afford to live without a full time job or he’s got a sugar daddy in his back pocket. This piece, while seemingly inspiring, is not very realistic.

especially the piece about “The only thing that I knew was that I was an artist…” I have said these EXACT words, and yet I still end up giving away my energy to retail.

now…to figure out what my artist’s brain wants to do!
