Van Gogh was in Europe, he starved ! SM i think is like show-area & not too well on income generation. Most artist I know couldn't care less if they have sales or not as long as they can exhibit their works & show them off to people here. So do you think you can survive on just being an artist alone? I know cebu's rich patrons are not as galant in spending money as their counterpart in Manila, or New York. Fred has a frame shop in Mango & he is an Architect by profession. So i was wondering if he is great in case being great is based on sales?
