It's not polite to talk about money. Everyone else is doing better than me. Success means earning six-figures. It's impossible to make a living as an artist. Having a 'day job' means I'm not a 'real artist'. Tired of the misconceptions and secrecy surrounding the world of creativity and commerce, Elinor Trier invited 29 working artists and creatives to lift the lid on their financial lives and share the truth of how they make money. Covering subjects such as money shame, mindset shifts, success (and failure), and income reports, this book explores the unvarnished reality of making a living as an artist. The contributors are from a wide range of creative disciplines, and include artist Tori Weyers (AKA Draw Riot), author Lucy H. Pearce, and artist Carrie Brummer of Artist Strong.
