Why Would I Give You Money? Get a Real Job 😡
Jedi Rich Lightowler is a New York City banker turned photographer
A lot of people think why would I help you? Well here is the deal. In a lot of countries other than America, artists are funded by the government. You can have a job as an artist. They believe art is necessary for human existence. In America, we do not take as much pride in supporting artists. In America people tend to tell Artists to get a “Real” job. Without art, life is bleak. Without artists we are living in ugly places, there is no design, there is no beauty, no humor, no fun, and no love. If that sounds like an ok world to you. Then do not contribute to an Artist.
However...
If you love art and you look forward to seeing something beautiful online and funny and interesting then that artist has to make a living or they cannot produce art. We are those artists. We have both had the “Real” jobs and we were miserable and suicidal because we were denying ourselves of our true passion: creating art. We live to create art. If our online friends and family enjoy our art then it makes sense to throw us a couple dollars. If we were street performers you would drop a couple dollars in our guitar case and go on your merry way. This is the same thing. We just share our art online instead of in person. We are definitely not opposed to sharing in person. We are working on getting our singing and guitar act together to take to the strip. I like to tell people imagine you bought or rented a movie for a $5. That is contributing to the arts. This is another way to contribute to the arts. If you love the JediJoyRichShow, then throw us a couple dollars every now and then so we can continue giving the world a beautiful Photo or video to enjoy. Now if you say I am not contributing that is fine to. We allow our art to be free. We never want to demand anything. We just figured, if you love what we produce and want it to keep going then feel free to help. Our art is still free, so do not feel obligated. Listen and trust your feelings always. We love you all and we appreciate anyway you show us love. Hearts, comments and views always brighten our lives as well. Thanks Friends!!
