    OK… So when does the burnt out phase end??? Is it like a “build the studio and it’ll happen” sort of thing? I can’t really judge that well, burn out and all…

    I don’t really count as an artist, and I … guess mid 30s counts as old?

    But I am finally in a living situation where I am not harassed by mentally unstable, incompetent narcissists, who seemingly invent a new neurosis that is now also my problem every week.

    I finally have solitude, and can interact with people on my own terms, at my own pace, and I’ve seriously never had better baseline mental health.

    I am loving the shit out of being a recluse!

      Wait until you get to your late 40s.

      Has someone who had home-studios for the past 20 years, don’t set your expectation too high. Most home studios are actually a closet in a shitty apartment shared with 3 other weirdos.

    Not on the chart: after death: gained fame and their artwork becomes valuable.

    If the price for an actual home studio is being an old weirdo, I’ll gladly pay that price

    Note: home studio is a fancy way to say a tablet attached to your day job computer… likely in a studio apartment.

    I think that first segment is like 5-18, the second segment is 18-98, and the last segment is the cafeteria with uncomfortable hard plastic seats during “arts and crafts hour” if you’re lucky enough to make it to the old folks home.

    They’d have been able to draw a better timeline if the seats were better, probably.

      So that’s weird old shit now? Now I don’t know if I’m just old too (35). But I love that art!
