"...I don't know if this would be something you'd be interested in..." he says, thinking over how to kill two birds with one stone (metaphorically speaking), "But have you ever tried selling your art? Some people might really like it, and then you'd still be able to do that too. I mean, I'm not going to tell you to do it, but it's an idea if it would make you happier."
