    The idea that art cannot be made with the intention of selling is
    pure unadulterated BS ! I do not claim to be an artist but the ones
    I know all want to eat and have a roof over their heads just like
    any other person.  This idea of the artist as being so focused on
    their creations that they don't give a damn about the rest of the 
    world or day to day realities of existence is a myth perpetuated by
    people who do not see art as a valuable asset to society. They see
    the artist as non-productive or possibly immoral (or both) and
    therefore they must be crazy or somehow incapable of fitting in in a
    way that would make them able to hold down a real job and be a
    useful part of society. 

    Artists are just people that create for a living.
