Any artists out there?

Any artists out there? Why do many artists have such a hard time marketing themselves and making money? Everyone in my family is an artist: actor, musician, fine artist, writer, furniture designer, graphic artist. We ALL struggle with the money issue. I’ve heard that art, as a business, should be 10% inspiration, 90% perspiration. I guess that either artists are REALLY lazy, or they would rather have more fun being creative! I’m with the second choice! Play now; work later!
