Don't Be A Starving Artist - Hardcover

by Gillian Park (Author)

Don't Be A Starving Artist is the book I wished I had as I built my business from self-taught painter to professional artist in just over five years! It would have saved me a lot of money, time and frustration and so I wrote it for you...

YOU - who's harboured dreams of becoming an artist since the beginning of time but lost them along the way, allowing life, jobs, families, and responsibilities to take over - your time is now.

YOU - who might be considering choosing art over academia, who are desperately searching for signs that this is the right path, positive role models who have done it already, proof that you CAN make money from art.

YOU - the artist who trades time for money, perpetuating the merry-go-round of paint/sell - never really making enough money for the freedom to enjoy painting what you bloody well like!

YOU - the new graduates, launched into life with some qualifications and no idea how to make money with their talents and skills - this is what they don't teach you in art college!

Don't Be A Starving Artist is not just a practical guide to making money from your art but also investigates why our mind monkeys torture us; how we're pre-programmed with other people's thoughts and opinions; and more importantly, HOW to master the artist mindset!

Don't Be A Starving Artist will help find your niche, your ideal client, show how to grow an audience, how to price for profit, investigate multiple income streams and guide in marketing and selling in a non-icky way.
