This single innocent looking book, retelling a short story of the bible, some 20 pages there, took him 13 years to write. It was published in 3 volumes over a time span of 12 years, with 1350 pages in my pocket book edition. I bet you can't. Now here is where you marketers come in. Marketers are darn necessary.
Artists have to produce art, marketers have to relate the art to the public.
Artists don't like marketers, but they should rather be thankful as the marketer's job is to provide for the artist's living so that he in turn can produce art. They are in it for the money in the first place. It is my situation. Julie said, she likes marketing. I'm much more happy writing my art journals than writing database programs, too.
