Starving Artist

You are an artist trying to make it big in a city where talent is everywhere, attention is hard to earn, and one good piece can change your life overnight. You sketch in cafés, paint in tiny apartments, post your work online, enter galleries, take commissions, meet strange clients, deal with creative burnout, and chase the impossible dream of being seen. Some people love your art. Some people underestimate you. Some people want to use your talent for themselves. In this city, every canvas is a chance, every rejection hurts, and every masterpiece costs a little piece of you.
