Really and this is whose fault? Anyone with a brain knows that if you are in the arts you damn well better have a day job and be putting money away for a rainy day because you won't be able to survive forever on your art.
Times have changed and the writing was on the wall WAAAY before 2007, if he or anyone else chose to ignore it that is on them.
Sorry, but I have no patience for this kind of ignorant, stubborn, stupidity.

It turns out everyone including Governments wastes money when there is a lot until finally the limit is reached.
North Sea oil supported a lot of subsidies to "artists" but that is giving out.
Warehouses of fine art sit idly by. It has been a heyday for the pompous elite but the oil skein has almost exhausted its supply of largess yarn.
