THE MADD PENCILER
The Madd Penciler is the name of someone  who is so hardcore into pencil art, that he's become mad!

Also known as Wayman, The Madd Penciler came to one of my Tattoo talks at the Central Branch of the Atlanta Library System many years ago and we became art friends right away.

We stuck together for a year or two and I have seen The Madd Penciler build an art career with a community fans and art collectors as everyone who's come across his art, is immediately hooked into the blue pencil line work of his drawings and now into the line work of his tattoo ink.

And don't forget, ProScale Models. look it up!

SOMEONE WILL EARN WITH YOUR ART
Day 3 - #FocusOnYourAGame Live Streaming Challenge

DTM, it looks like you're always making art, posting, streaming and promoting  yourself. Are you selling art?

Imagine a hundred years ago you drew Mickey Mouse for fun, and now there multiple amusement parks across the world and a collection of franchises earning billions!
Imagine you drew a monkey for an NFT series and now that collection is bringing in a Billion dollars in one year's time.

Now imagine you do not get any of the profits.
I am in the business of art ever i since I heard that artists can get paid for their work.

I want to draw for fun/ded projects that fund my lifestyle and allow me the chance to provide for my family. That means I will promote my skills, use internet tools to market my talents and negotiate my pay rate that my art deserves.

Respect yourself.
Respect your talent
If you don't earn with your art, then someone else will.

Day 2 - #FocusOnYourAGame DO WHAT YOU CAN
Start where you Are Now.
​
I have collected different tools and gear these past few years. I slowly added a tool or two to my streaming setup as I realized some of my tools were faling a bit short. My first microphone was just the basic mic in an iPhone. My first camera was an iPhone 4. When I was recording the Art is King podcast, I used an android app and had several cheap android phones to capture audio.

We start with the tools we have right now. Master these tools. Then slowly buy the next tool that will get you the audio and video quality to the next level. Slowly level up, it is not a race.

Artist, please don’t chase the money
For an Artist, there's a difference between Chasing the Money and Following a Lead. The difference is a Professional comes prepared to make a deal!

But what does that mean?
That means that you must stop acting like a person who is looking for a chance to be put on. Stop looking to be given answers from anyone you ask from.

The professional artist gets to the pro level by building the art biz education, connecting with arts organizations, building relationships with successful artists to be mentored and given advice.

The Professional artists knows what lane they are in and they control it. Your lane may be comic art, fine art, graphic design or 3D Animation. Control of that lane means the artist puts in a lot of work to become top of their craft. Those artists are cranking out artworks
Building Art Biz Education is the hardest part.

Everybody can draw, but not everybody takes their time to read a contract, learn to write a contract orconsult with an attorney before signing a contract.

But I didn’t come up with this process. I kinda did, but only thru observation. Lots of observation.
The roadmap is evident everywhere. There are artists giving back all the time thru panel discussions, meet ups, mentoring and business coaching.

Theres so much information available to artists today that theres no reason to walk around blindly.
Atlanta has a thriving arts community filled with info, it's like there are people out there who want to see artists succeed!

In January we discussed the Top 5 Tips to a Thriving 2017.
