I used to live for art at one point, spending around 15 hrs a day just practising,but after a few years, (maybe 15) you get to the point where you want to have a bit of fun in your life too. I work part time now self employed and would never consider going back in to a studio unless it was a short contract I am still petty…
Personally, I'm having to keep a very close eye on my habits to keep form completely giving up to workaholism. I get work, get home and try not to think about personal projects until after I go to bed. During school and in the initial stages of working I would spend a better part of the day at home working on pet projects…
