Paul Jarvis experiments with words and design. His latest book is called The Good Creative: 18 ways to make better art. Wouldn’t it be great if being a brilliant artist was all it took to earn a living? We could spend our days with words, canvases and music, creating our art until we dropped of beautiful exhaustion. Rent, food, college funds, insurance could be worries for someone else. Sadly, when art mixes with money, we’ve got to take on (or hire) several responsibilities beyond just creating our art.
