I ♥ Kickstarter!

Working with Kickstarter has been a great experience.  I mean this in a financial sense, but also in an emotional sense.

Dealing with rejection / Faire face au refus

In order to be an artist, it’s vital to know how to deal with rejection.  Pour être un artiste, il est essentiel de savoir comment faire face au refus.

My Kickstarter / Mon Kickstarter

I’m doing a Kickstarter for my upcoming series!  Je fais un Kickstarter pour ma nouvelle série!

Comment peindre sur commande

Peindre sur commande peut être un cauchemar pour un artiste, mais ce n’est pas forcément toujours le cas.  Le secret n’est pas de trouver de bons clients: c’est d’être un artiste qui sait comment travailler sur commande.

Artists’ contracts

Artists should use contracts.  These written agreements don’t have to be full of scary legalese but it’s important to get them signed instead of simply shaking on them.

I’m a 711510.

From the beginning I’ve made my living as an artist.  My work is not a hobby to me nor a calling that’s above payment.  It is my life.

Artists are future-makers.

Often times artists are thought to be arrogant.  That elitist association is not always deserved, and, more importantly, it’s damaging to society as a whole.

On self-promoting and bragging

Pretending that self-promotion isn’t bragging is both silly and dangerous.

My copyright and my copy place

As a copyright law radical, I sometimes forget what protecting intellectual property means to people.  The most recent reminder of this came from my local copy place.

Letting go of my art / Me séparer de mes œuvres

I love art and especially my own art, but, in the end, what I do isn’t about art.  It’s about people.  J’aime l’art et surtout l’art que je crée, mais, en fin de compte, ce qui est important en ce que je fais n’est pas l’art.  C’est les rapports que j’ai avec les autres.

About competition / Sur la concurrence

This is the story of how I dumped copyright and fell in love with free culture.  Ce vidéoblog raconte comment j’ai cassé avec le copyright et trouvé mon âme sœur, la culture libre.

How I make sure my art doesn’t get ripped off on the Internet

Of course I may not be the best person to consult about this sort of thing, because I love how a friend photoshopped her face into this digital image of my work…then again, maybe that’s precisely what makes me most qualified to speak on this subject.
