The Cre8Tive Compass Manifesto…My 800th Post

Editor’s Note: Since this is my 800th post on C8C, I thought I would make it something very special and close to my heart…

We are in this together…artists finding a way to make a living doing what we love…

Myth Buster #1: You do not have to be starving to be an artist!

Myth Buster #2: You do not have to compromise your ideals to promote your art!

Myth Buster #3: You do not need an agent or gallery representation to make money with your art!

Myth Buster #3: You do not need to wait to be discovered!

Myth Buster #5: Some artists do not want/need to make money with their art!

Are you enthusiastic and hopeful that you will somehow, someday find success as an artist?

Are you working very hard to be discovered or even noticed as an artist?

Do you have boundless creative energy to create with no energy or desire to market your art?

YOU, the artist, need only three things to make a living doing what you love:

1. a clearly shaped and defined artistic voice that adds value to the universe
2. a focused direction knowing your destiny is in your hands
3. a vision for your creative pursuits that does not involve waiting to be discovered

If you believe…place this button on your blog with a link back to this manifesto!!! It will remind you every day how valuable you and your work is!!! XOXOX
