How to Make Money As an Artist
I just recently read The Unconventional Guide to Art and Money (incl. audio interviews), by Chris Guillebeau and Zoë Westhof.
My review of this guide is:
“WOW! BRAVO on writing such a GREAT guide! I wish that I had read this when I first started out as an artist!”
Even though I’m featured as one of the artists in this guide, I have to say that I’ve learned valuable tips and tricks that will help me in my business. This guide is definitely perfect for all stages of an artist’s career, especially for visual artists (painter, photographer, sculptor, illustrator, and other crafts).
One last note before I stop writing and go paint: If you have a friend that dreams of one day becoming a full-time artist, think about buying them this guide. It would be such a great gift! I mean really… what better gift than to give your loved ones inspiration and knowledge in how to pursue their dream job? Seriously, name me one gift better than that.
Here’s a video of one of the authors, Chris Guillebeau, describing The Unconventional Guide to Art and Money.
Here’s a video of the other author, Zoë Westhof, talking about The Unconventional Guide to Art and Money.

This is awesome! Thanks for posting this. I think they should have this type of guide for students going through art school. There’s so much more to being an artist than making art, like Chris says in his video.
