The Most Important Things for Survival
as an emerging artist, in order of importance, are:
1. Make drop dead stunning art. Make art that just stops people in their tracks. The competition is T O U G H. To
survive your work has to be the best of the best of the best. The definition for a good work of art is: Technical expertise
itself adequate to produce an emotional impact. So make sure you have exceptional technique, but that you do not
concentrate so much on technique that you do not get your comunication out.2. Be ethical. Being ethical means doing
things which aid you, and the people and the world around you, to survive. Ethics is a personal thing. When a person
does things which they themselves, deep down, know are not helpful to their own and others survival, they then cut
back their own success. You are basically good and you only allow yourself success if you feel you deserve it. If you
want to succeed in anything, you have to be ethical.
3. Do not have suppressive people around you. Do not accept ANY invalidative criticism. Artists are creative by
definition. There are people out there who are currently destructive. They like to pick on artists as targets to pretend to
be friendly to, but actually to pick at, upset and destroy. There are two types of criticism: Constructive Criticism - where
the person suggests a better way to do something & Invalidative Criticism - where the person just says something is not
good. Be aware in any criticism that there are such things as personal taste, contemporary standards and even envy or
jealosy. Criticism is the biggest reason an artist stops making art. Surround yourself with supportive people with social
personalities.
4. PROMOTE. If you have No.1, 2 & 3 done then this step will be EASY. Promoting exceptional art by ethical artists
who do not have suppressive people around is a dream. If you are having a hard time with promotion have a look over
1,2 & 3 and work on them a little, then promote again. But, there is a law in the universe and it is: Outflow = Inflow - the
more you communicate to the world about your art, the more attention and money you will get back. In the arts the
Press is God - so make sure you are always communicating to the art, luxury lifestyle and mass press. But also make
sure you are always communicating to art buyers or galleries and your past buyers. Ideally you will have a gallery do
that for you, but the point is that you have to promote if you want t survive and the key is - number of people reached
and number of times reached.
Do well!
