Fork in the Road between starving and thriving artist

Author: Andy Marshall

Discover whats at the Fork in the Road between starving and thriving artist. Im Andy, and Im a kids book illustrator obsessed with the concept of how you can change course from that of the starving artist to the path of the thriving artist. I believe all the answers are out there right in front of us in the artists we know and love. Because as they say success leaves clues, so Im becoming part detective and part guinea pig. As each week Ill be interviewing artists that are making money, surviving and thriving. Then I'll be implementing what I learn in my own creative practice.
