"From family money to jobs to colorful schemes, Mason Currey, author of the acclaimed Daily Rituals, explores both the well-worn and unlikely paths forward for the up-and-coming artist. Making Art and Making a Living is an entertaining and thought-provoking examination of the collision of creative ambitions with real-world necessities, and of the messy, glorious, torturous compromises that gifted individuals have patched together when facing this eternal dilemma of an artistic life"-- Provided by publisher.
