Too many see the artist's path as a page out of Van Gogh. Poverty, misery, cold garrets. That is at least what I was told.

I've never been in a garret in my life. I have in some way always been able to earn a dollar here and there, and though it has always been a struggle, I shudder to think of the alternative.
