Artists MUST learn marketing and sales if they want it to be more than a hobby. Why should we continue to validate the "starving artist" stereo-type? Screw that! I deserve to make money with my skills, even if that means "selling out" and becoming a business person. Your art should be treated as a business. If you're not willing to do that, stop complaining about not getting paid. I agree. Artists MUST learn marketing and sales if they want it to be more than a hobby.
