The Cliff Notes for How to Survive and Prosper as an ArtistBy CustomerIve been raking the bookstores in search of all the information I can find regarding the subject of making a living as an artist. Ive already read through two excellent books: "How to Survive and Prosper as an Artist" AND "Taking the Leap: Building a Career As a Visual Artist" Both of those books had a wealth of information. and although they overlapped in some areas. they both brought their own perspectives. tips. and information to the table - and a lot of it at that. This book. "How to Make Money as an Artist" is a much thinner book. and only seems to overview a lot of key topics. I found the book too lightly skimmed the surface of many important issues that really do require a more in depth review. I personally wouldnt recommend this book because I think you can get a lot more out of the other two books I suggested. If you only need a little guidance. and dont have a good grasp of the basics and common sense. this might be a place to start.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Very goodBy TobyWell here I am again off and traveling. I have my handy kindle with me and about 50 books. With 10 to 12 hour flights one much have something to do. for me it is reading. I love the variety I can download and the various subject. Ok. so I have my favorites and yes I give them and other good authors five stars. I dont waste my time giving negative feedback as it is so useless. like grandma use to say. if you dont have anything good to say dont say anything at all. I have to agree. it is far too easy to be negative. I find the positive more healthy and human. and so you will see me giving 5 stars but I am so super critical that when I give it. it means they are worthy of five stars. As a member of two very healthy book clubs with over 100 members each. I pass on good book and authors. read on. read on. enjoy. Here are a few books I highly recommend: The Boy He Loved - Obsession Into Darkness (Gay Suspense). From Boys to Men (Gay Classic). From Boys To Men - Revision By Hector Vance (Gay Romance). My Gay Socks (Gay Romance)and The Crane Pelican (Gay Romance).3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
