If I were given the skill I'll use to the full extent in whatever I could but never to harm anyone. If there's anyone who really wants to show his/her appreciation of my talent won't they do it by helping me financially? If I had the talent to assemble and fix things (computers perhaps) I'd like to earn from that talent. If I had been bestowed with the gift of artistic inclination, I like to profit from it. It's these skills that somebody may be looking for I'm not going to deprive him/her of the pleasure praising my work. I'm sure he/she would not also mind allowing me to profit by my own creation.

Purists who abhor the idea of creating art for trade or commercial purposes are living in a different age, it's the capitalist age already, everything else is now being traded as a commodity, art incldued. As for art for art's sake, I'm not a big fan of this line. Art in all of its form was created for a purpose, whatever that purpose is, and not just for the heck of it.
