Enormously helpful, thank you.

"how much is a formal art education important?" his answer literally killing all art school's business .

How important is formal education? "Not." No hesitation, frank, flat, loved this 😂 this got me in the feels. Really enjoyed this lecture, thank you

Hard work to learn to think and create with your intellect as much as your soul and knowledge of present and past art. See and learn about as many artworks as you can. Learn art history.

Thoroughly enjoyable, interesting, encouraging! Thank you. I regret not finding your talk 10 years ago, however now is great.

so wide, so useful

About the blended career question--it's actually not that complicated. I'm a full-time artist now, but when I was starting out I worked twice as many hours as a 9-5 employee. I worked my day job, then I drove home and worked on my art until I fell asleep. I worked on art all weekend. I used Instagram to promote my work, and I cold called galleries to ask about opportunities. My cold calls led to shows, my work got better, I started making more money on art and then was able to spend 70% of my time on art, 30% of my time at the day job. Now I work full time on art, 60 hours a week minimum. It's not a complicated answer, it's just a challenging solution. You have to become a workaholic. Identify with it and be proud of yourself for it. It's a very fulfilling life if you can romanticize the process of it!

Make small cheap things (too) All collections start with the first whatever. If someone buys or is given one of your things, you have become a brand in their head, and they will start seeing your things more, than if they didn't own any. Think about all the things, you've ever collected - how many of them did you decide to collect, before you owned any?????

Brilliant talk, thank you.

Answer: create art. If you mean succeed financially, then you are talking aberrations on many fronts.

this guy is so good. He's a great speaker. Im motivated

25:01 so strong and I needed to hear it again! Thank you!

:P don't quit, stick to your vision

This was a fantastically real representation of the reality of things...great information and I hope many more artists take this great advice, I know it impacted my perception. 👌

Thank you for great advice...

Very Nice Ida about the PAUL KLEIN Giveing Vizlistion process improvement interesting effects Dome Response Basically Artist management system in the world wide information.Thanks.you.❤😮

kiss boatloads of ass how else

great video..... the camera view made me think I was in the room as well.. until I looked around 🤣

The sounds quality of recordings on this channel is pretty terrible, even when the content is good, its either terribly distracting or hard to understand.

“If you believe that something in this you are creating is any good, you have an ***obligation*** to get it out into the world”. Beautiful thought. Can be said about any career not just artists. I am struggling to become a data scientists. I believe what I am creating does have something good for society. I will try to reframe my task as an obligation to get it out into the world. This is so empowering!

What did he mean by commercial art ?

What a fantastic talk, by someone who really knows what they’re talking about! Thank you thank you thank you 🙏😊👌🍿🎬🐟

A good general approach. There as many ways to be a success as there are artists and you should choose your own

I very much appreciate this!!! 😊

This is fantastic for musicians and actors too...stuff to take home, for sure....Great quotes all throughout!! ....Thank you Paul Klein!!

The be yourself quote is by Mark Twain ... NOT Facebook lol !

awesome. rip.

From my point of view. Art is such an Alternative Pathway in today's Society. In Art there is no Right or Wrong answer or way of doing it. Like what this Guy said, everybody is unique, there is nobody like you. YOUR Art is YOUR Art, Not anybody else's. You create what your perspective is of the world. What you see, what you feel and what you think. The best way to start is Craft Fayres, Online and doing odd Commissions. Rather than jumping in the deep end in a small Art Gallery with a load of Assholes. Be yourself and come up with your own individual Strategy, And you'll get somewhere with it.

The way to succeed as an artist is to get a paying job and then you can paint whatever you want whenever you aren't working for a living.

People also shouldn't be focusing solely on selling their art if they need to sell desperately to survive. Otherwise the quality of the art will suffer.

Well when I finished undergrad art school 20 odd years ago I had no money and my parents lived in a town with no opportunities. There was no art village whatsoever. I was on my own. My obstacles were lack of money, depression and hopelessness for a fair number of years. The art world does exist and its an unfriendly and exclusive club for the wealthy upper middle class. It's snobby, sexist, classist and up its own arse...see guerilla girls for more info.

Life experiences ....oh yes that's the spice of art!

I really like this down to earth advice.

This is so inspiring…… over the years I have been more often in my studio creating artworks than out making relationships….. From now that has to change a great deal….

There is more thieving of art than selling of art these days

Honestly how do you expect a fine artist to be successful when any idiot cannot take a digital image of your art and have a giclee made of it.
