“I just did not realize how much of the pie chart in my brain was the hustle versus the art.”
Amanda Palmer, on the Tim Ferriss Show
Amanda Palmer was talking specifically about how her transition to Patreon, and the support of 15,000+ subscribers, has changed the way she makes her art. But these are questions worth asking for all artists:
How much hustle? How much art? And most importantly, how can you increase the percentage of your brain devoted to your art?
I’ve thought a lot about what a Patreon for a choral composer/arranger would look like, and whether it would be a viable way to adjust my own balance. If you have ideas, drop me a line!
