RE: The Artist's Poverty Narratives
This is an incredibly important discussion to be having!! The tension between survival and living. You need to get signed up for @steembasicincome (they upvote all my posts) and also join some of the art communities on steem - there are TONS. And connect with @frejafri
I'm sharing this post into the c-squared curation community for you - they do a LOT of arts curation on steem to try and address some of the questions you're asking.

Thanks for the feedback and passing this along! Yea, it's a conversation I have often with artists and solopreneurs and why I am fascinated by the UBI movement. I did sign up with SBI last year, but haven't tapped into it lately. I'll def fire it back up and check out the connections you mentioned too.
I was listening to a recent Tim Ferriss podcast with the artist Amanda Palmer and she devoted some time to fleshing this out. She talked about how her community on Patreon now supports all of her artwork and what a massive impact that made on her creativity. She no longer had to simultaneously create art and monetize it. She could just create art. So powerful to step back and think of this separation between creation and commerce, but not something we artists (or other business owners) take the time to actually do.
