Learning how to be an outlaw artist is important. Getting away from the herd matters. Being unconventional is key to art life success. Always be branding. Be mobile and visible. ON PURPOSE!!! Do it soon, later is too late.

It's not the art objects, it the business practice to sell the art that matters. Branding matters. An artist need to put 10,000 hours in on the business side of art life, David Hockney is a brand, Warhol, Picasso, Anish Kapoor, Robert Rauschenberg , Jasper Johns, Jenny Saville all brands. It's marketing and branding that sells art. An artist can never be too rich or famous.

The local art worlds, have artists who can help new artists, navigate life after art school. Its outrageous, that working artists, are not invited in to schools to answer questions, to make new fine art grads lives easier. Students are not, getting a full education.

There gonna be a lot of disappointed grads this season. They have paid their money to get an education and they have not gotten their moneys worth. The gatekeepers have sequestered the real world information away from their students. The education system for fine artists and business and money making is a joke. I don't understand what the big secret is. Baffling.

Went to the Denver art festivals, two of them. Lot's of creative people working all winter to show in the outdoor shows. Competition is fierce . people have a lot to select from. An artist has to out think every one else. I didn't see one terms available sign in any booth. Lost opportunity to get some money. Dumb mistake!!! People need to be told in written form. Every booth should have a written form they have time payments. I don't know who will rad this, but the data is good and true.

There are a lot of art festivals going on in Denver. I mean for 2013. I will go to see what I can learn to do better for my own art life. I use the festivals as a research lab. Gotta do it.
