10 Things Never To Say To An Artist
The SFNers (Something For Nothing crowd) do this but won’t change as a result of reading this. After all, it’s all about them, isn’t it?
Artists, HTFU and realise this will happen, time and again. Refuse to prostitute yourselves. Convert every disappointment to a resolve to excel at your art so more people will appreciate your art and those with money who appreciate it will pay more for your work.
To non-artists, an artist receives pay in three ways. Cash, admiration and word of mouth. Make sure you don’t short change them on any of the three.

Are You At The Devil's Mercy?
Most people believe the devil lives far from them.
The mainstream media would have you believe evil
is three dictators on far off lands – the axis of evil.
In fact, the triumvirate of evil lives far closer to home.
At least from a health perspective.
It is an undereducated mind,
a weak backbone and
sugar loving taste buds.
If you love sweet things
and don’t know how poisonous is sugar
or do know but can’t resist the addiction,
then you are at the devil’s mercy.
