This review is from: Making a Living as an Artist (Paperback)

Bought for my brother-in-law who has had tremendous difficulty making the conversion from a hobby to a sustainable living. This book comes from the point of view of someone who has done it rather than from someone telling an artist how to do it. He found it very readable, sympatico and usable.
