I wasn't sure whether to post this in this forum, or the Business Forum. I'd been thinking about starting a kind of teaching series (if you can call it that) on my blog for a long time. It's based around the business of being a fine artist, but also gives (my) advice on navigating the ups and downs of what that all means in terms of keeping up a studio practice too. It's actually something I've lectured on at a couple of universities, believe it or not. I just haven't done anything like that in a long time because I hate public speaking.
Writing these things down for people to read has been something I've wanted to do for a while--sharing my experience, what I've learned, etc. in hopes that it could possibly help other artists in some way, or at least encourage them with the philosophy that: if I can do it, then so can you.
There is a discussion in the Business Forum where Bartc and I touched on some of the things I address in the post where I talk about values. This is the one I posted this morning to get things going.
The first, or pre-beginning of the series starts here. All the posts before that are just part of my everyday journal, which having nothing to do with teaching anyone anything, so you can ignore all that. My blog is pretty candid in general, which I don't mind, as it is public, but don't bother reading it unless you're into that sort of thing (my thoughts and insecurities and whatnot ).
Anyway, hope this might be of some value if you're interested.
