Welcome! You’ve arrived at the latest and greatest art podcast! Art Condition will be interviewing industry experts, freelance professionals and serious hobbyists to discuss a wide variety of art related topics with a focus on the practice and the business of art, and how we can maintain mental health and well being in the face of all the challenges that artists must confront. Our hope is to expand the pool of resources and information for artists as well as inform (and entertain!) consumers and aficionados who may benefit from learning more about the inner workings of the art world and how much work it takes to make it work.
For an independent artist there isn’t one way to make money and there SHOULDN’T be. What are the multiple avenues available to artists for generating revenue and how do you find them? How should they be designed so they can survive the long game?

Upcoming Guests
I have been drawing and painting since the first time mullets were cool. Since then, I have built a successful, 25-year long career as a tattoo artist and freelance illustrator. In recent years I have taken my personal and professional experiences and applied them to teaching and mentoring others to build strong technical skills as well as useful business planning.
