What's the advantage of being an artist when it comes to product creation?

As an artist or photographer, you’re an inventor. You can create new products with almost no overhead, no production line, and minimal cost—just your time and talent. This is profoundly valuable. If something isn’t working, you can pivot quickly and create something new tomorrow. One artist painted Ruth Bader Ginsburg two days after she passed, sold the original and dozens of prints in 48-72 hours—something she couldn’t have done with her existing catalog alone.
