Presentation by Chris Prince - CreativeFluff Art & Design Magazine - @CreativeFluff
Why can’t I get a job in
the art industry?!
Srsly u guys.
1. Start an art blog
STOP posting your
work on DeviantArt...
Instead write thoughtful
insights about your niche of
the art world
2. Make some friends
Friend your Friend's friends on
LinkedIn, Facebook, Flickr,
Twitter, etc.
3. Connect with old friends
Study their methods.
Collaborate on new ideas
Let them critique your work.
4. Say Hi to your mom.
Your family will talk passionately
about your work.
...if it gets you out of their
house.
5. Get with the times, New Roman
Who is our secretary of state?
Read a damn newspaper and
learn about current events.
6. F##k Email Templates
Stand out by researching a
person before writing emails.
7. Feed the ego stomach
Take successful artists out
to lunch & talk about their
work.
8. Be Controversial
No one want’s to hire a fluffball
or a boring robot
9. Pitch the Dream
Pitch your ideas at galleries
hosting art similar to yours
10. Know when to fold em'
You can’t win them all. Unless
your last name is Norris
11. Talk to Everyone
Get to know hiring managers,
production assistants & even
interns at studios.
12. Love Your Work
If you don’t, no one else will.
Thank you.
