Real Artists Don't Starve: Timeless Strategies for Thriving in the New Creative Age

By Jeff Goins

Categories: Arts & Photography, Business & Money

Jeff Goins challenges the myth of the starving artist, arguing that creative people can thrive by understanding the market. He cites Michelangelo, who amassed a fortune and ran his career with an eye for business. The book sets out rules for the thriving artist under mindset, market and money: learn from influences, apprentice under a master, cultivate patrons, join a scene, collaborate, practice in public, charge for the work, diversify skills and earn money to make more art (Thomas Nelson, 2017).
