Hi. I'm a professional artist. I have a lot of friends who are also professional artists.

Most of us live in cities, and go to the store to buy food. We have specialized in being good at making images, which we trade for money, which we can trade for other goods and services such as "food" or "entertainment" or "rent". Some of us are doing well enough to have room for a garden, and the time to tend it. This is by no means the majority.

How many of your peers would know one end of a modern combine harvester from the other? Probably very few, if you live in the city.
