 "I
just wanted to let you know that I did everything you suggested, and yesterday I got a
contract with a gallery! It's a good one in Geneva, IL, where there are
several other galleries. I prepared two portfolios and was planning to
make the rounds of all the galleries there, but the first one I went into accepted two of my
paintings . . ."
Barbara Lipkin | Artist | www.LipkinGallery.com

Recommendations from "Starving" to Successful Readers |
|
Hello Jason,
I received your book yesterday
and read it in it's entirety immediately. You have provided excellent
and practical information from an insider's point of view that
I found extremely useful,
and I have no doubt that other artists will feel the same way as we
make our way in this complex art world. You made several suggestions
that I begin putting to use right
away and others that I will be putting into action soon. Your book is
the single best guide I've ever seen for stepping up from juried
exhibits to gallery
representation I've seen (and I have seen many sources)!
Thank you so much,

Dear Jason,
I need to thank you for writing
"Starving" to Successful. I received it the day before I left home for
a needed respite and read it every night. It super-charged my ideas so
much that I had trouble falling asleep! I found it an easy read, not
pontificating, and best of all it told me - in a simple and direct manner - what doesn't work and what does.
I had already
done some of the things and considered trying others which your book
advises artists to avoid, so you saved me the time and effort that I
would have put into those (i.e. brochures, etc). I have
recommended your book to some artists I spoke with at a gallery Grand
Opening
on Saturday night, so you may be getting more orders from the Colorado
Springs area. My greatest weakness is with computer work, but now I am
dedicated to learn how to use it to my advantage. My summer goal was
to learn to set up an e-newsletter...and this one I just received from
you has reminded me of that goal. Perhaps you will receive one from me
by the end of September.
Thank you over and over for your effort and vision
to
write this book.
Best regards, Carol Ettenger |

Hi Jason,
What an extremely helpful book! As an artist who has
planned for years to make a professional business of my art (but with
trouble extracting myself from a regular paycheck situation) I have
read many books on this subject. Your book, by far,
illustrates a more
frank and constructive approach to being a professional artist than any
of the other books that I have read. Thank you for taking the time to write
this.
As
a gallery owner, you come with an arsenal of information that others
don't necessarily know or are unwilling to tell in such an honest and
frank way.
I'm at a transitional time in my life now, with the
opportunity at last to make my art into a business. This book
will no
doubt be a tremendous tool in helping me to create a useful plan
for making the business aspect of my art a reality. I will
let you
know about future progress as it is evidenced in tangible results.
All the best,
Gina Knepell
