During the years I traveled throughout the state of Florida selling my own art, that of other artists and publishers of fine art prints, reproductions, and posters I met and sold work by artists in all stages of their careers. They were imaginative, hard working, creative people just like you.
Some were talented amateurs who never needed to make a buck from what they created. For them, a sale meant fun money. Others, like me, needed to turn time and talent into dollars to support themselves and their families. A number held full-time jobs and made art in whatever time was left over after earning a weekly paycheck. For a fortunate few, the other job was in the art field. For still others, the regular dollars came from some unrelated occupation they longed to chuck so they could create art full-time.
Over the years I watched, and helped, a number transition from part-timers to full-time my art pays for everything happy artists. That was a road I traveled to become a producing artist and artists' representative. If that's your goal, this book is definitely for you. But I believe it will help any artist no matter what part of the journey he or she may be on from starting out to almost there.
