“That ain’t workin’ that’s the way you do it”.
“Money for nothin’.... Now that ain’t workin’ that’s the way you do it...”
Lyric from “Money for Nothing”, by Dire Straits
Being an artist is not a choice you make; you either are an artist, or you are not. An artist has to make art!
Making art is about creatively expressing your ideas/concepts in your own way. In this context, your art ("pure art" - "art for arts sake") is successful if you think it is! Other people's ideas of good art are not relevant to you.
Being a professional artist is a somewhat divergent path inasmuch as "success" is expressed in other terms, usually financial.
"Money for nothin'", means you love being an artist, You love creating your art; and, thus, making money from doing what makes you happiest is truly "Money for nothin'".
