Here is an...In Post #27, I wrote about Matt Sesow. Here is an excerpt from his answer to my email with questions about how he got where he is today:<BR/><BR/>"I recently got shafted over $5K from two gallery shows, so I am a bit bitter about it. That aside, I’ll try to be better with my answers to your questions.<BR/><BR/>I guess I became known by painting non-stop for the last 14 years and not letting up on the output. I try to discourage people from selling on ebay, but I think for some it might be ok. I think the best way to get known is to create original work and do work that is different. I’ve seen some early artists try to copy my style, but I think what happens is they get tired of trying to reproduce a look and feel that may not be their own. Best thing to do is to find your own voice and pursue it.<BR/><BR/>It’s very hard work living full time off the art. I miss the corporate world sometimes.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your work and do it as long as it is fun.<BR/> thanks,<BR/>mattsandra coreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03152331530499316809noreply@blogger.com
