You're right of course Amit. Maybe the key is having longer periods of downtime to give the challenges more of a "happening"-characteristic

This is the struggle with getting artists on forums to participate without any incentive or hype to push it. It's probably not really a lack of time issue for most. You give people a month, they'll take the whole month to do sweet fa

How about thinking of a proper, interesting brief for CHOW instead of a vague, cliche theme?

Aaargh! Never enough time in the day - got a load of chores to do before I can sit down and load some art! By then it'll be bed time :(

You'd think with internet becoming more and more standard globally, these artists would all converge in the most affordable living environment and work via communication.

A hard working art professional can be property owner, have a car, and go on annual vacations, but they will probably not renovate the whole property and line the roof with solar, drive a Tesla, and get on airplane more than once a year all on their own expense... Tesla cars look cool....

Yeah although I sure won't mind being always able to afford a nice comfy apartment and good food, lol! But art calls, and I answer like an addict.

Doing art makes you rich inside your soul - something more valuable than financial wealth. Cheesy but what the heck :).

Sarcasm aside, Nous is right though, it ain't easy; Art, especially becoming a freelancer, is not for the weak minded or someone who pussies out easily. I will concede that. :)
