“STARVING ARTIST” is a term even non-artists are familiar with.
It’s unfortunate that it’s such a well known concept.
Matt Tommey, author of “Unlocking the Heart of the Artist” says that it’s a curse we Creatives have experienced dating back to Cain and his descendants.
Don’t believe it? Ever experience any of the following in your creative pursuits:
Restlessness?
Wandering? Knowing your gift has a place, but not able to find it?
Unproductive? Trying to put your talent to work, but never earning enough.

I highly recommend that you get Matt’s book, “Unlocking the Heart of the Artist” , where he goes into great detail on this and guides you toward the Biblical solution.

That was a great connection Matt gave. I definitely learned something. Some times it’s good to see how God blesses the faithful man, but it’s sometimes even better to see how God punishes the unfaithful, like Cain.
