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.

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.

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

Artistic types, have you got a newsletter yet? If not, you MUST. It's essential, especially if you're an indie artist/creator and not relying on client work. Do it. DO IT NOW!! Your newsletter is evergreen where social media comes and goes #artistbusinesstips #artbusiness #newsletter

From Saachi art apparently, good news to those of us who sell to the USA. #tariffs #artists #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.

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 worked for about 4 hours -
1 for publishing and sharing my comic.
1 for updating my website with logo-section.
1 for making logo lineart for client 1.
And 1 for continuing a cover design for client 2.

Maybe one day I can pay for someone to do the social media parts so I could put more hours into actual painting, drawing, and sketching. (^_^)*

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

Artist Sunday is November 26, the Sunday after Thanksgiving. This year support your local artist.

Thank you for all you who boost my work. More eyes on my work gives me a better chance to sell my work. I promote every day, several time a day. It is a never-ending job. When I make a art sale I think about all you little elf who make it happen.

For many in Lahaina the shock is turning into devastating grief. Darice and her husband are trying to keep it together. If you can support them either purchasing her art or the go fund me that would be amazing. Boosting appreciated.

My friend Darice Machel McGuire has lost her business in the Hawaii wildfires. If you like to help her, purchasing her art is a wonderful way to show your love and support.

A view into my world. My studio is not always this pristine.

I don't do this often enough, but I want to thank all of you who make it possible for me to make a living from art. From purchasing, to sharing, without you the art lovers my reach would not go far. THANK YOU! Danke, graze, mercy

The Economy of Arts - Should you invest in art in 2023?

To the young collectors, my advice is, to find a local artist whose work you enjoy. Get to know the art and artists. Create a budget for your art collection. Buy art because you love it and you would love it even if the art never gained value.

Art educators; best color theory workbook for art students. There are a ton of good oldie books but they are costly because they are not in print anymore.

Curious, I see many photographers post the make of their camera, aperture, and F-stop. Other than photographers do you find this information useful? Do you want to see that with photography work posted? I once went to a photographer meeting and a fellow photographer asked me what lens I used. At first, I was stumped and then after looking at my photograph I knew exactly which lens I used. But what does it matter? #Photography #Art #equipement #ArtBusiness #Artist #proPhotographer

I was invited to take part in the Florence biannual. I am honored and would love to take part.
