Check out this article over at the New York Times. They didn't talk to any writers, but it's still relevant.
Tight Times Loosen CreativityHundreds of artists told us how the economy is affecting their lives and work.
There's a little video linked there, too:
The Recession-Proof ArtistAlexander Conner is an interdisciplinary artist continuing to make his art despite living on $12,000 a year.
Ha, "despite living on $12,000 a year?" It's a how-to for my life, and future : )
He lost points when he said "I'm a really great artist," or whatever he said, because who says that? With a straight face, no qualifiers, on camera?
If I EVER say "I'm a really great writer," please pinch me, really hard, and then stop speaking to me until I snap out of it.
Plus, he's got no student debt. He's got a job at a museum. This guy is living the sweet life, at least for now.
Hey though, good for him.
