I actually found this super liberating: "Be yourself... and be yourself RADICALLY." That's very freeing.

"Be yourself, and be yourself radically". Perfectly said and great advice.

Thank you for these videos. I’ve seen a few others and they are well done. I graduated with a BFA when I was 65. I experimented with many styles during my studies as was the aim before locking in to a theme and an approach. I find that as long as my style/theme is evident, I have plenty of room to experiment. I am now at a place where my work is recognized locally as a ‘Kumi’ . I am presently 72 so have no visions of grandeur but still strive to be the best I can be, sell my work locally and internationally painting what I love.

You need to stop worrying about whether your art stands out or is sellable. Artists need to be artists. We are not marketers. We are not sales people. We need to focus on enjoying the art process and enjoying our lives. Don't need that kind of pressure.

First, you have to create VALUE. Have your own style? I don't agree you should have just one style, and be defined by it. Many renound artist had more than one styles of works, one dominated and was more successful and they focused on that, ok, but it was not their mission, it was just a consequence of their exprimentation. So, the optimum advice is: expriment as much as you can, and make the best quality work as possible (exquisite if possible), yet remain very original and true to your story. Do not focus on recurring themes, it is doomed to fail since you compress your niche so much more.

This is simply a marketing technique. I used to run an advertising agency so I learnt about many ways marketing works. This is a commercial practice getting your art sold. You say be yourself but make sure you force yourself into the market and do what sells. Don't have a versatile style? What if I can do anything and do a diverse range of things genres and styles. You will go to an artist who can't even draw and buy something just because you recognise it. The market is too fast and fickle to actually think about the work. Limit yourself or become involved in a paticular style and develop yourself within that style is more important than just picking something people like. What are we slaves to the market?

This is probably the most important advice I received after do a complete piece of art everyday and share it online. Ever single day for a year!

Thank you for putting this together. As an outsider, my experiences with the art community has been very troublesome. For a community of “creative” types, there is a very high bar to clear to be considered for entry. Those boundaries are very rigid but completely undefined. Lots of devaluing, back biting and posturing in my observation and direct experiences. I don’t know if it’s to keep a purity of what “art is” which has yet to be defined to me, even if it’s only in approved mediums, or if you have the right amount of education or indoctrination(same difference it seems). What I do appreciate is that, you seem to encourage people to do their thing, “all out you”. I’ve come to realize that going all out, and savoring the experiences of doing so will be all I get out of the process of creating my “downloads” and to be grateful to be able to do so. As much as recognition and money would be great, just getting to a point to be able to build is an accomplishment in its self.
I’m an outsider in that I’m a self employed carpenter. I like build three dimensional wall art based on sacred geometry, chakras and mandalas. I’m building my second piece now. I have no idea how to market it. I don’t find many examples like it. Art museums couldn’t be more rude to me in the way they say” this isn’t art” but then go into a unasked for critique using wood working terms they really don’t understand 😆 or say it’s to big. I’m yet to deal with interior designers, dunno how that will go, all I do know is that any contractors that do get work from them are very guarded, understandably. All I do know is that I will choose to be content with building the things that persistently pop into my head, hope to find space for them to exist and to go out and get “no” as my daily vitamin 😁 when I ask”would you be open to hosting some of my work?” To coffee shops, yoga/meditation studios, art museums and what ever else looks like a possible opportunity.

Great advice! thanks so much. I am having my first solo show in Australia next September.

Economically-motivated collectors dictating how an artist creates art (in any way) really is the tail wagging the dog, isn't it? The core problem with the 'art world', summed up.

The content on this channel is getting better and better. 👍Loving the insightful videos.

Bravo! As a collector, I couldn’t agree more & I’m thrilled to see a gallerist sharing the inside scoop so more artists can make a living from making art.
