STOP! Your listings are stressing me out! Creative minds can’t handle it!😮 You are a bloody genius, a great artist. Business is not your gift. ART is your gift, believe in yourself you are so creative; everything you want is really just on the other side of fear. Put one foot in front of the other and throw the bloody lists in the bin 🗑️ I’ve sold so many of my paintings and still going strong today that I now paint full time at home in my spare room, which I’ve turned into a place to zone out of this crazy world. I can paint and make a whole lot of mess with paints and mediums of every description, or I sometimes just watch a film on Netflix on my projector when I need to decompress. The very last thing I think about is the money. A lot of my paintings were done on the cheap when I first started out a good few years ago! ( a lady never tells) 😂but the people who purchased them didn’t care, they just wanted to own a beautiful piece of art. I’m not famous, I’m not rolling in cash either, but most importantly I’m no longer working in a job that didn’t recognise my potential and who didn’t give a fig about my well being. Yes, of course it was a big giant leap of faith, but it turns out it was totally worth it. I was as we say in Scotland; on the bones of my “arse” 😂 and absolutely skint for a wee while, just managing to pay the important bills but it’s really paid of now. and I am financially stable, a lot calmer and a happy human being. I paint every day at my own pace and I don’t need to or have to follow any stupid set rules either. The money will always come in it’s all about self belief. Everything you've ever wanted is just sitting right there on the other side of fear so stop procrastinating and do your best work its awesome and so are you 😊
Thank you so much for this! At last someone who straight- talks - you are just what I needed. Straightforward steps to follow. I have felt like I'm all over the place - feeling like I've got to cover everything at once and getting nowhere. I'm centred now from watching this - thanks again
Good advice, keep continuing...... I had to give up football at 28 as I knew I wouldn`t reach the level I desired. I am now 66 and have been a professional Artist for more than 25 . The reason for this was that I preferred to be a performer rather than a member of the audience and have reached a sense of inner contentment I never thought I would attain, as well as making a living. Painting and creativity are timeless and probably the nearest a human being will ever get to immortality.....your work lives on.....maybe a wee bit like the Portrait of Dorian Gray😂✌❤
Always keep copyright in your mind, right from the outset of your art career. Don't casually share out /show your pics to people you don't know, for a reaction...be careful and put that magic little copyright c in a circle, on each of your artworks, even rough sketches, scribbles, notes, and even Xmas cards you make etc. Copyright is a very interesting subject to read about, and keep up with anything new, any changes in Copyright laws. Protect yourself . (Having your original work copied then sold for profit could be devastating to your life and sanity). 🌿🧡
I'm a fellow Canadian, from the opposite side of the country. I was laid off from my job without warning earlier this year and I haven't had any success in finding another job. Before I was laid off, I had vague aspirations of becoming an illustrator but I rarely took any steps toward my dream because I was too tired. Now I have no choice! For the past five months, I've been locked in my studio, sometimes 10 or more hours a day. I've gotten more art done in the past five months than I have in twenty years. I have my website built and I add to it daily. So yes, you're right. Getting anywhere might come down to leaving your job. Though I'm not sure I recommend it. A broke artist is a desperate artist and desperation is not a good mentor.
This is AWESOME info, because of this, I subbed to your channel and will support. I'm a gigging guitarist playing jazz fusion and classical/flamenco Rock guitar & I get a lot of work because I'm creative & different. However, that doesn't mean that the music industry isn't suffering from what I call 'Free' music syndrome, making it even harder than ever to make a living because very few people are buying music now compared to 20/30 years ago. That being said, I've been slowly getting back into art & drawing after a 50yr absence ( because I started playing guitar in 1974 at age 11 & never stopped). Your words of wisdom I value, thanks for sharing. Now we ( my wife & I) are preparing for the next Hurricane, Milton, to hit us, we live in N. Ft. Myers & it is due to hit us this Wednesday, 10/9/24, hope we make it. Rock On & God Bless.
Thank you so much for the priceless info and inspiration!!! I'm 54 yrs old and have been an artist all my life, but NEVER pulled the trigger to transition into an Entrepreneur. Congrats on your journey and PLEASE continue to drop this Stellar content and Being your True Self. Blessings Bro!
I'm new to your channel and love your inspirational content. I'm a beginner artist at age 41 now and I'm lucky to be unemployed due to the company shutting down. For the past five months I've been working really hard sketching and then turning those sketches into enamel pins. That's right, I've started my art career designing souvenir enamel pins and I love it so much! To me it is real art and it's hard work. I sketch my concepts the old fashioned way and then take it to my iPad to turn them into designs for the pins. Sometimes when I'm sketching, I go into a meditative state or even have emotional experiences, so how am I not a real artist when I'm pouring my heart and soul into these sketches? I prefer to work all day every day and I take my iPad with me everywhere, even on vacations. On average, the only times I'm not working are when walking my dogs at the park, eating a meal, drinking my coffee in the mornings or sleeping. To me this is a passion project, not a job. You know you're in the right profession when you never want to stop working for as long as you're alive. Therefore I don't see myself retiring until I'm on my death bed. Please purchase your pins from real artists, not from Temu, AliExpress or Alibaba, etc. They steal our work and mass produce cheaply for profit.
Great advice and I think for many of us creatives, the constant stream of idea, inspiration, thought, color, words...and more keep us disorganized, dreaming, all over the place...organizing these thoughts and actions is soo key.
Quality supplies are important, especially for work you're selling. There's a world of difference between Crayola and Faber-Castell, and the quality of your materials has a direct effect on both the permanency of your work and your working process. For the past ten years, I've been spending a little bit of money with every paycheque on art supplies and books. Now I have no job and no money, but I have a studio full of quality art supplies and books and lots of time to use them. ---Thank you for your videos, by the way. I just discovered you yesterday and I really love your delivery and what you have to say.
Thank you for sharing these 16 (+bonus) tips (road map). I'm a 68-year-old artist. I've been doing different kinds of art since I was about 15 years old, but I never took it seriously. I did my art because I enjoyed it, but I wanted to be a botanist. I can no longer crawl around on mountains and caught myself 'doodling' constantly. Your road map is exactly what I needed.❤
Dude, thanks for not blowin smoke up my butt. So many people just say you're great, just do it, you make it real and I can feel the effort involved through the advice you've given. I sort of jumped to the business part without having the time and lost all interest in painting so I backed off and now I'm doing the best work of my life. Just got to make some time for the business bit.
I wish instead of constantly hearing about "the starving artist" or "art isn't a real job" or something along those lines. I wish people like you just gave steps about how to make.
Thank you for the advise! I'm still in the learning process, so I probably won't be selling anything for the next 6 to 12 months. And it took me over half a year to figure out what I want to create and what my style is🙈. But these are very helpful tips. I just recently started with creating an online presence, but it will take time. Meanwhile I will keep learning and practicing. And I have to create a step by step plan as well. Thanks again, this is really helpful!
Wow! Thank you for your feed back, makes it worth it. If you ever need any encouragement or advice, don't be scared to email me. shadow artisteart@gmail.com Keep going!
You do not need the best supplies. If you're doing oil or aquarell then maybe but you can pull off amazing stuff with cheap design paper and a bic ballpoint or charcoal or graphite or.... Skill is what matters most. I switched from copic to color inks and pencils (lightfast and permanent) and to mixed media paper because of the hefty price tag.
Oh. This is for “young artists?” Well, I’m young at heart & spirit. So, HaaaaY!” 🤣🤣🤣 Man, all of these tips are awesome. I love the way you broke it down in manageable bits, too. So inspiring & motivating. Love your vibe. Thank you for doing this. I’m here.🙌🏽❤️😊
Learning marketing and the psychology behind it all. Darn! I have to buy new art materials this weekend so I can build a new portfolio for my target audience. Keep your videos coming man! 🔥
Nowadays I hate (your step) mailinglist. Because each day I get so much emails because of this. I don’t read them anymore, they go immediately to the bin. Now almost December and everyone wants to sell you something. So mailinglist can be oké. But not to much otherwise I block them. Like your videos with your steps. I am an artist and making money also with teaching. Yesss never quit! That’s a good one. (I am 73) also the marketing is a very good step, my mistake, never did. Because I am who I am and it’s okay. Love making art and teaching. And I do what I like. Not what people ask me to do. I have to like it. (Also a step, do like it) 😂 Good job, make fun of and love your work. Hope everything is going how you want it!!
Took me almost 21 years of civil service before I could start writing, drawing and self-publishing. I should've started in my prime but.. Hey! Better late than never.
Great work man. Thank you. Love your personality. You don't seem to give a sh*t about what people may think of you and look 5.2 k subscribers. Good work!
Thanks so much, really enjoy your videos - i think ive just binged them all! 😂 Really lovely genuine person - wishing you the best and sending tonnes of positive vibes your way XXX
Professional materials are SO important! You don’t want to sell a piece and have it fade on your customer. Archival, lightfast, acid-free supplies ALWAYS. 👍🏼
Hey Mate, Good advice and wish you luck. I started 3 years back and have been going pretty well but definitely could be better. Ill take some of this advice and apply it. Subbed Bsw
I subbed a while ago, and think this guy is the real deal! I guess I was hoping that some enterprising industrialists had taken the time to capture the 16 items as the checklist as I think such a digital list could have value. And I know what you are thinking and maybe saying out loud and that is why haven't you (I) written out the whole checklist? The answer is I'm lazy and sometimes I don't feel like being enterprising & entrepreneurial😏
Awesome information! One thing. I think you forgot to mention early on an artist has to find their visual STYLE! I’ve been working on my visual style for three years. Just keep in mind that’s a really important part of all the success that’s coming… Thank you again!
You know what? Your right, I forgot that in this video. Arghh It just happens that my next video is about that, so stay tuned. Thanks. Great advice, I agree. Most important part is your style.
Definitely following you! I’m coming into the 3d Art world and I know it’s competitive just like all others arts. Good luck out there and thanks for the advice
All good advice, however, and I know this is harsh to say, but the reality is, that the cost of living is too high to make a true living off art. Diversify your income is really the only way to not lose your mind.
This is great. I am going to implement your information into the important aspects of my life that need nurturing. You are a top shelf teacher and motivator.
@shadowartiste No question. I'm yrs old, mentally and physically fit and capable. You have a simple no nonsense approach. Your "pronoun" is Bad MFR. Consistently is key... keep doing it brother.
Business is my Waterloo. I seem to crave doing sculpture, Pop art all different forms and styles of art..but I crave to be like the dutch masters and I suck at it. So far I have only one person that collects my stuff.. Why do you think that is? From sketches to mixed media sculptures. Everything
This is THE best video. What a hug and a slap at the same time. Thank you!
a hug and a slap? I'll take it.😄
STOP! Your listings are stressing me out! Creative minds can’t handle it!😮

Thanks, I will, one day.

If you need to diversify your income stream outside of art, then motivational speaker sounds like a perfect fit for you!.
Thank you.
That's kinda what I'm doing. Sports and business have ton's of motivational speakers, why not art?
good observation.
Always keep copyright in your mind, right from the outset of your art career.

I’ve been in the business for a long time… still have a job to pay bills etc… your advice is a solid truth… thank you from one artist to another.

I dont know about your art yet because i haven't seen it, but your skill and creativity in video production is great!
Thank you for the inspiration! I sold 4 pieces over the past year and decided to be an full time artist....
I work 10 hrs a week at the most doing massage
And I have low overhead so I can paint all day
It’s a dream🎉
Sounds great, and I wish you well. I find painting and making simple pottery very calming and so enjoyable. ☕🌅

Well, your side hustle can supplement your goal. Be a Motivational TH-camr. Sister channel. Appreciate your commitment. It's encouraging.
Awesome video! And amazing artwork. Love the fact that you are sharing your experience! Thank you for doing this 🙌✨

Great work man. Thank you. Love your personality. You don't seem to give a sh*t about what people may think of you and look 5.2 k subscribers. Good work!
That's what happens when "you don't give a shit what people think of you" Lol. Welcome...
Much appreciation
We all needed this, thanks
You are sooo good!! The way you say this all is so easy to really ‘get’
Loved it!!
I love how you are so honest. It’s def. A deep dive. Like Heidi Klum used to see on Project runway you’re either in or you’re out.
Great advice
Thanks so much, really enjoy your videos - i think ive just binged them all! 😂 Really lovely genuine person - wishing you the best and sending tonnes of positive vibes your way XXX
Awwww. I'm feeling them...😊thanks
OK you had me at, "That sucked!"
😆
Professional materials are SO important! You don’t want to sell a piece and have it fade on your customer. Archival, lightfast, acid-free supplies ALWAYS. 👍🏼
True, absolutely. 🌿
BEAUTIFUL THANK U BROTHER ARTIST
Just came across your channel and I love it! I’m just working on building my collection and website
Perfect! so am I.
Big up on your down to earth videaos ive been looking for this type of advice , legend
Hey Mate,
Good advice and wish you luck. I started 3 years back and have been going pretty well but definitely could be better.
Ill take some of this advice and apply it.
Subbed

Thank you very much! Much abundance to you!
I subbed a while ago, and think this guy is the real deal! I guess I was hoping that some enterprising industrialists had taken the time to capture the 16 items as the checklist as I think such a digital list could have value. And I know what you are thinking and maybe saying out loud and that is why haven't you (I) written out the whole checklist? The answer is I'm lazy and sometimes I don't feel like being enterprising & entrepreneurial😏
Nice video. I'm in the same place you are. I'm trying to sell my art and become full-time. Thanks for the advice.
No problem. Your not alone. Glad this reached you.
I fucking love your videos
That the best comment so far.....
Whoever you are, thank you!
You are welcome @@shadowartiste
Liked subbed
Awesome information! One thing. I think you forgot to mention early on an artist has to find their visual STYLE! I’ve been working on my visual style for three years. Just keep in mind that’s a really important part of all the success that’s coming… Thank you again!
You know what? Your right, I forgot that in this video. Arghh
It just happens that my next video is about that, so stay tuned.
Thanks.
Great advice, I agree. Most important part is your style.
Thank you for keeping it so real! We’re all in this boat brother…
Thank you for this, heartfelt.
Definitely following you! I’m coming into the 3d Art world and I know it’s competitive just like all others arts. Good luck out there and thanks for the advice
You too, man! Thanks.
I like your profile pic, cute couple.
@ thank you! I appreciate the compliment
All good advice, however, and I know this is harsh to say, but the reality is, that the cost of living is too high to make a true living off art. Diversify your income is really the only way to not lose your mind.
I agree, cost of living is crazy, I'm in Canada, even worse. Maybe throw in a part-time job to keep things rolling along. Thanks!
This is great. I am going to implement your information into the important aspects of my life that need nurturing.
You are a top shelf teacher and motivator.
Thank you. Really?
@shadowartiste No question. I'm yrs old, mentally and physically fit and capable. You have a simple no nonsense approach. Your "pronoun" is Bad MFR.
Consistently is key... keep doing it brother.
thank you so much joe a couple months ahead of me.
Thank you for the great advice
This is really inspiring thanks for making this vid, getting a real push with this
You are awesome!!!!
Enough respect
Thank you so much
I’m 41 and changing careers to animator. Never to late brother
Business is my Waterloo. I seem to crave doing sculpture, Pop art all different forms and styles of art..but I crave to be like the dutch masters and I suck at it. So far I have only one person that collects my stuff.. Why do you think that is? From sketches to mixed media sculptures. Everything
I’m loving this energy I have a few canvases in my garage I really need to get back into it and stop scarring my damn self I love the honesty
