This blog aims to give you the information you need to start down the path of becoming a professional in your chosen creative field.
I will be collecting information from those I know across the creative spectrum. If you want to become a visual artist, filmmaker, game developer, author, graphic designer or musician, you’ll find useful info here. I’ll be interviewing art directors, independent moviemakers, video game designers, editors, and other creative pros to find out how to get into (and stay in) the creative industry.
For our purposes, a Creative is defined as anyone who makes money by generating creative content (with the exception of counterfeiters and people who make fake IDs. They have other sites). If your creative profession isn’t getting attention here, feel free to leave a comment and I’ll try to research it and put up a post.
Yes, it is possible to make money as an artist. People have done it for thousands of years, and they’re still doing it today. It’s all a matter of knowing where to look, knowing the right people, and knowing the right skills to practice. If you have talent and knowledge of how the industry works, you can make it a career.
New posts will come out about once a week. If you have any questions (or answers, or corrections to any dumb mistake I might make), feel free to leave comments—especially if you happen to be Orson Scott Card, Dave Matthews, or Steven Spielberg. Your opinions are (almost) as valuable as mine.
