Sticking To It

One of the best things an artist can do is just keep on doing what ever it takes to have a an art life. I have done so many things, all art related to be an artist. I have conducted classes in many different venues, to bring in those dollars to have bread and shelter, I have led art tours in the city and invented other art related ventures to get to the point being self supporting as an artist/teacher. I have learned the business of art and I am still reshaping that part of my discipline. I will mention two artists that have been very instrumental by example, of what it takes to be a successful artist, Merrill Mahaffey and Dean Mitchell , are the thinking man's artists. These guys are brilliant when it comes to the business of art. You the reader can google these artists to see what I am talking about. Mo' Later.
