Something I wish more artists understood:
your smaller works aren’t “less important.”
They’re often the entry point into your entire market.
Many serious collectors start small—not because they have to, but because they’re learning your work.

Holidays take a big chunk out of studio time. I use the little time I have to reorganize my studio.
It's time I map out my art projects for the year ahead.

Well, I just unsubscribed from yet another artist who has transitioned from artist to career advice guru.
I get it—it’s hard to promote one’s art, and artists have been told one should pivot to including any skills one does have in addition to one’s creativity.
But that’s *in addition* not *replace*.
I only know a few artists deft enough to straddle those two very different worlds, because it’s a balancing act. They are each silos requiring different skillsets, both of which are full-time, almost mutually exclusive jobs.
Oy, I liked their walk-through vids.<sigh> Oh well.

"Artists are tired. They’re asking hard questions about what’s working, what’s not, and whether the way they’ve been operating is sustainable for the long haul.
One of the most revealing data points in Katie’s report is that 30% of product-based business owners had considered closing their business in the past six months."

With the way social media has shifted over the last year, it ironically takes some of the pressure off fighting for traction online (for me at least). What we had is gone. I’m not leaving social media just trying not to stress on it. Put my energy elsewhere and plan. #artist #artbusiness

#Amsterdam’s #VanGoghMuseum Denies Attribution for #Portrait Bought at Garage Sale
The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam said on Friday that a long-lost portrait was, in fact, not by Vincent van Gogh, contradicting a 458-page report by the New York–based firm LMI Group International that claimed it was by the famed painter.#VanGogh #Art #ArtVerification #Artist #ArtBusiness

I visited some local small businesses today with husband and a friend. It was a treat because husband doesn't usually come along for things like this. Made some connections with several of them for a possible consignment of our art. I also found something I really liked; a vintage pin. I'm not big into jewelry, but antique/vintage pins are my weakness... Yep it came home with me.

I'm reading through some pinned tabs, and I thought this one on using empathy in your art career would be of interest to y'all, perhaps especially you freelancers :

As humans, we need art, love art, and use art. Yet, there is little done to protect the artists and the arts.

If you are an artist and hate to pay for software subscriptions consider the Affinity software. The learning curve is not bad coming from the other software. They have a sale running right now: https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/photo/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAi6uvBhADEiwAWiyRdvAeMPT2USDLwyOVZ5iSpDxjVzt55OzmjEM5zO28feH5NKqKXEYJoRoCe1wQAvD_BwE

Humble Bundle has a bundle of books on graphic design and being an artist, 23 books for (min) $25. I just bought the bundle and they look really good, I'm skimming through them now and very happy I got this. Would recommend!
This bundle benefits the Book Industry Charitable Foundation, "dedicated to strengthening the book industry by supporting the people who work in bookstores and comics shops."

I have been saving up for a lens the whole year and just found out our favored camera brick store will discontinue selling camera gear. I am just a little short to buy the lens I had my eye on. But thanks to you wonderful art buyers I am closer. .I would like to help out the store and get the lens before December 31 there, knowing it will go towards a small and local business. #artistlife #cameragear #artbusiness #artbuyers

Our 4H cooking club agreed to do only one fundraiser a year to raise the money they need to run the club. I have been tiredless promoting my work every day and often wish how nice it would be to only have that certain one time in the year I could make all the income to cover my expenses, pay my bills and have a bit extra to enjoy life. I would rather create art than spend time marketing any day. #artistlife #artbusiness #livingwages

Fellow artists; does anyone of you have a tip on a good app for android that can serve as a 'scanner substitute' - ie. it can take a pic of an art, adjust weird angles, and make a sellable digital copy? I'm willing to pay money for it, but not having my art gobbled up into a cloud or an ai training pool. Thanks for all help!
