The people I've admired in the arts "seem" to move about without concern for how a new body of work will effect 
marketing or whatever. There is the illusion that someone like Wegman would surely have made enough money by now, 
and being an artist at heart, would use success to gain the freedom to do whatever he wants, rather than be trapped by 
continuously having to produce more of same.
Harvey and Mark, anyone, do you think it's possible to have artistic career success and remain free to progress as an 
artist? Or is it just an illusion, and always some kind of compromise? My observation is that it would take a remarkable 
individual to remain clearheaded in the middle of success.
Which is why I make a constant point of remaining unsuccessful...
yeah, that's it...
