What an excellent point you've just made!
You've named arguable three of the most highly respected artistes of all time, yet ALL of them, as you rightly point out, had day jobs to pay the bills and supplement their love for art. Let alone the fact that Van Gogh died a pauper.

that none of those GREAT ARTISTS
were doing it for the art... they where all paid... and paid fairly well by todays standards...
it was in response to a comment which said if i create something and sell it...its a job... and that i can only be an artist if i give it away for free...
its all in the thread dude... seriously.
EDIT: here it is lazy:
me: but i should be doing this for the love right?
NOG: if you want to call yourself an artist, yes
if you do it just for money, then its just a job.
