Artists Must be a "Jack of All Trades" in Their Field to Survive in the Economy

The New York Times had an interesting article that talked about how artists have to be able to do a variety of things, in this struggling economy, in order to survive on a tighter budget. This immediately reminded me of how newspapers and the field of journalism are requiring editors to be able to report and reporters to be able to take pictures and photographers to be able to do graphic designing, in order to cut back on budgets.

Furthermore, the article talked about how the Internet is a good place to post artwork, because people will not have to travel to view art and artists from many nations can collaborate.
