It's MORE IMPORTANT to understand doing business than being an artist.
A few short years ago, I attended a photography conference. I was under the impression that I'd be seeing a lot of disscussions and examples of photographic techniques.
Well....
To my utter disappointment -- we spent the first 2 1/2 days of the 3-day conference listening to "how to" lectures about business issues. In fact, several speakers repeatedly made the point that one could be a lousy photographer.....but that this minor distraction was not any kind of an impediment to the central goal of making money. Lots of money.
If one can sell a lot of lousy pictures, then one can get rich.
At least that's the lesson that the "photography" conference taught.
I suppose that this rule can apply equally as well to 3D artwork.
