The Artist's Journey: Choose Your Own Creative Business Path

Your business. Your path. But what does that actually look like?

Inside "The Artist Journey" zine, you can explore the various paths artists might take to make a living: galleries and wholesale accounts, online shops and teaching, licensing deals and markets, print-on-demand and hybrid models. Each choice leads somewhere different - some to sustainable income, others to burnout and expensive pivots.

Start from where you are: just finished art school, been making casually, or running a business but want to explore different channels. Each path shows what that choice might look like, the work involved, and the trade-offs.

As a lover of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" books from the 80's I thought that format would be a great way for artists/makers to try out the ups and downs of different business models before committing real time and money and figure out what their path might look like.
