That is a super-nice positive way of putting it. I generally think of it as:
1. Artist advertises commissions and gets paid truckload of cash to create art.
2. Artist thinks "Hey, I can draw anytime I want to." and proceeds to turn Paypal money into a private scholarship for single mothers trying to put themselves through college by being an "exotic dancer".
3. After the scholarship has been completely disbursed one dollar at a time, realization sets in that he now has to spend time drawing and essentially have no funds to show for work that still needs to be performed.
4. Date a stripper and repeat steps 1-3 until everyone catches on.
"You can sheer a sheep many times, but only skin him once."

PS: so, AC dates strippers ?
