AND THE BIG QUESTION ARAISING WITHIN THE
CREATIVE COMMUNITY THIS MORNING IS “WHAT ARE
THE GREATEST CHALLENGES THAT ARTISTS FACE IN
THE MODERN WORLD?”

V.O - FEMMALE
I’m here with Charles Napcal for more
details

PAINTS
V.O - MALE
Thank you, Linsey, the greatest challenges
which many modern artist faces, follow a
simple four-point structure
V.O – MALE
One. Earning little to nothing, over hours
of work
6. ON THE ART DESK A BAG IS SLAMMED DOWN,
V.O – MALE
Two. Clients not willing to pay for the art,
instead ask for a free commission
7. SOMEONE RUSHING TO PACK THE BAG (DROPPING PENCILS & A
VARIETY OF SKETCHES),

V.O – MALE
Three. Their profession is not taken
seriously by society
8. PAPER FALLS ONTO FLOOR
9. TO SHOW WRITING ON THE PAPER “A CREATION OF MINE OWN”,
V.O – MALE
And Four. The most important point in the
list. The biggest challenge which an artist
faces is their inner demon.
10. ONE SET OF BLUE TRAINERS WALK OVER THE SHEET OF PAPER,
V.O – FEMALE
And that was Charles Napcal talking about
the challenges which modern artist face

Ah no! You can’t pin that on me…I have an
artist mind! You wouldn’t understand such a
concept, my mind needs to be kept free and
flowing, within society and…

And a failure to accept responsibility
26. IKA:
Aha that’s where you are wrong, I accept my
failures like any other person and I take
everything on the chin, I…

it’s decided to grow another partner I see
28. IKA:
Oh God, why on earth am I stuck with you…
29. SAB:
Good question… I don’t know, probably down
to your inability to accept your miserable
self
30. IKA:
Like any artist accepts themselves, we are
all depressed like the next politician in
the houses of parliament.
[pauses]
Hang on, isn’t there meant to be a good

out to personal relations, core [laughing]
