How do you justify getting paid for what you do?
(more questions)
The answer I have to justify getting paid for what I do is that people want to
pay me and I want to get paid. We all have to make money to survive. I decided
I work very hard to make sure I could make money doing something I love. I dreamt
of doing this, of satisfying my own personal desire to draw all day long. I create
what I create for very selfish reasons, I love it. I am doing exactly what I want
to do and I get paid for it. If you can find a way to enjoy your day and actually
get paid at the same time that is not something anyone needs justification for.
It’s justification enough.
