6-8 Questions for Nicole to Ask
- •Why I think more artists/creatives should be preppers, they probably are but would not admit it.
- •What is a "Veblen good" and what that means for those who create them in this economic climate
- •selling art changed drastically (for me anyway) when the Great Recession happened and it really has not come back since then.
- •What it's like to be an artist who is a prepper/survivalist and how isolating that can be.
- •going it alone, and so many of the pitfalls of being single and the importance of setting boundaries. Being seen as an expendable resource and/or your priorities are not important.
- •along that same thing, dealing with the perception of being a prepper/survivalist and handling the usual contempt of others - until they are in a bind and come to you to save them. This and the previous bullet point tends to be far more of a problem with women.
- •TSP has been my "safe space" for years and I can say stuff there that I could never talk about to other artists and creatives.
