People may have a vision of a solitary genius, but that's not how many successful artists work. Going back at least as far as the Renaissance many artists were managing studios of other painters, sculptors, etc who would produce the actual work. A lot of the most famous artists today still work that way. Successful artists are, and have been for centuries, creative entrepreneurs.
