I wonder if that infuriates you as much as it does me???????
Your creative activities dissed and trivialised as a mere hobby?
On visiting my family for their golden anniversary bash, family members referring to your creative path as a 'hobby' in the way presumably golf, bungee jumping or trainspotting is a mere hobby. Along with, as though school was only yesterday 'you are daydreaming instead of concentrating on what is important.'
Like the day job.
A prospective student I was foolish enough to answer honestly when she asked me about my other interests beyond the day job, who referred to my less profitable creative activites as a H.O.B.B.Y - I am not sure I want to know if she was just tactless, in a bad mood, or generally hostile. It is hard to tell with people sometimes. Maybe she thought I was in a bad mood, but my sense still is that she was needling a bit.
In any case, she is, in actual fact, dead wrong, as I do, very occasionally, actually sell pieces of my artwork, even if my bread and butter will newver come from it primarily, and perhaps the possible compromises that might require may not make that worthwhile (as in 'sorry honey, but only green sells these days'
. In fact, if there are no problems in having the compulsory changes in my articles of associaton changed, I may even be able to legitimately ask for an invoice if I sell an artwork in Budapest too.
Imagine.
