This week I asked Artist Academy Advanced student Jen Baum if she wanted to hop on a live coaching call to talk about her art business. I asked Jen specifically because I knew recently she was feeling a bit discouraged and anxious that her art business wasn’t growing as fast as she’s wanting it to. Jen is brand new to the art world, having just made her website and is just recently getting used to...

These things are fairly simple and really something that every artist should have even if you’re at the very beginning, but I feel like a few items might surprise you.

How does someone make 1k in 1 day? That the big question. Now I know you are listening to this because those zeros on that title caught your eye and before I dive into it I just want to preface this with a couple things...

Simple Photography Tricks That Make A Big Difference with Justin Cardoza This week’s episode features photographer/cinematographer Justin Cardoza. This interview was a little different, and not just because I was interviewing a photographer instead of painter, but rather because Justin lives in the same city as I do so we just both sat down in my studio and pressed play. This was the first time we...

Being multi-passionate is amazing!!! Until you’re knee deep in one project and everything is going well and then BAM you get the itch to try something new and exciting because your current route isn’t quite as exciting as when you started it. Now, I don’t want to come off as a know it all on this subject because I’m definitely NOT but I do want to share my personal experience with being multi pass...

This week's episode features art marketing expert, Maria Brophy. This is the first guest that is not an artist herself, but rather someone who is an expert on the marketing and licensing side of art. Maria played a key role in developing her husband's art career, Drew Brophy, into the highly profitable brand it is now. I'm a huge fan of both of the and have listened to her audio book twice because...

Do you live in a city where it seems like people don't really care about the arts? Buying art might be a foreign thing to the people in your area so it's hard to image being able to charge what you deserve. Trust me, I feel you! I grew up in a town with a total population of 370. Yep, that's 370, not 370,000... just 370 total. I currently live in a relatively "big" city if compared to my hometown...

This week’s episode features Arkansas based artist, Tram Colwin. If you take a look at Tram’s Instagram, it’s pretty obvious why anyone would be drawn her to style. Specifically speaking of her 100 butterflies she recently completed in the first 100 days of this year. We did a similar 100 day challenge in the Artist Academy with the purpose of making yourself sit down and just create every single...

This week’s episode features now Missouri artist, John Whytock. Now, before we even started this interview I knew exactly what I was going to title this episode. “Learning from a legend.” When I first started painting for Bass Pro, I knew who John was through the grapevine. I hadn’t met him yet, but his reputation for being one of the top artists in the area proceeded him. It actually took several...

This week’s episode features Oklahoma based artist, Dionne Woods. I’m so excited for you to listen to this episode because Dionne has been such an inspiration to me this past year. We randomly met on Instagram about a year ago and at one point I reached out to her and asked, “hey, is this teaching other artists thing really all it’s cracked up to be?” And after she told me about her amazing member...

This week we are switching it up a bit and I’m showing you a recent FB Live I did inside the Advanced Membership with our very own Jennifer Halterman. Jennifer joined the group when it first opened and she was one of the first members I ever virtually met. She is actually a part time artist, full time life coach, and I was just thinking one day “ya know, I bet she has a lot to offer this group if...

This week’s episode features Arizona based artist Andrew Lee. Andrew reached out not too long ago to talk about all things art and business since he too just started coaching aspiring artists! Yep, someone else is out there paving the way for the upcoming generation of amazing artists so they too can thrive without the hassle and guesswork we all had to go through. I think it’s amazing what Andrew...

Along with “what kind of paint do you use,” this “how do you price your art” question is one of the top questions I get weekly on my Instagram and in the Artist Academy Facebook group. And for good reason. Pricing is difficult! Even for me still somedays. I’d say probably 90% of the projects I get I immediately think “uhhhh what am I going to charge them? What’s fair? Yet, what’s profitable?” I do...

This week’s episode features Branson based artist, Mary Evelyn Tucker. I first met Mary Evelyn about a year ago through Instagram and I wanted to have her on today because in just a year, she has gone from a few commissions here and there to completely booked out. This girl is busy! Not to mention, she sticks within a very specific niche. We talk about how her meeting just one person was the resul...

This episode features UK based artist, Laurence White. Laurence started out in a career in film, mostly behind the camera, but is now stepping out in front of it with his art. You’re going to hear a little background noise in this episode so please excuse that. We recorded this mid-day at 2:00pm UK time, which was 8:00am central Midwest, and Laurence was kind enough to take a break from filming to...
