As I read through all of the feedback the young artist recieved I found a common response. Don't make art to be rich: do it because you have to make art. Also that as we grow as artists and as people we need to push out limits and make mistakes. This is how we grow as human beings and also as art makers. When we continue pushing that is when we become recognized and it may take years of doing so. Some of the responses were very blunt a sort of, "this is life, kid" and others seemed to be more encouraging such as, "We all have been through it. We made it, and so can you." I enjoy the latter of the responses even as a student who hasn't begun his professional career. I need that positive feed back to keep me going.
I also believe that these letters and published responses are the very thing that will jump start this young artists career.
