The Artist's Guide to Making Money

An exciting, decidedly eccentric, relentlessly well-crafted, and not without hope of being lucrative venture — The Artist's Guide series. The Artist's Guide is a topic-driven art journal produced
by Matt Cassity and Sam Spratlin.

Our first issue is dedicated to the topic of making money. We asked the tough questions; as a working artist, how do you make money? How much do you make? Is money the root of all evil? How would it feel to be a money-making pioneer with a printing press and paper and green ink and whatnot? We're getting the answers, and you can get them too...when you buy the book.

Specs: 6x9 inch,112 pages, perfect bound, printed in 2 color, with a fold out poster insert, limited editon of 1000

Disclaimer: Do not expect any actual advice, tips, or tricks for making money. We can in no way guarantee that you will ever make money as an artist, or otherwise.

Featuring

Andy Rementer [

] is in Italy at Benetton’s Fabrica. I think he used to live in Brooklyn since I see his stickers and drawings on various bathroom walls. He was the first to submit his artwork (and it's great!). Andy updates his website often.

Fighting [

] is Niall McClelland and Lukas Geronimas in Canada. We first saw them on the sketchel project and checked out their site. We were blown away by their amazing lettering and textures. They've done a lot of cool work.

Jessica Lynch [

] lives on an island in Washington state. We e-mailed each other years ago and traded some prints. She sells the best shirts you can get on the net at www.slowshirts.com (act quick—they always sell out).

Marcus Oakley [

] lives in London and enjoys listening to the Beach Boys and drinking tea. Recently he's building creatures out of scraps of wood. He's nice and agreeable. He's got a band, a portfolio, and a blog.

French [

] is from England and used to live with us in Kansas. We had a good time running around town drinking and destroying things. He lives in London now and draws like a madman. His website declares death to false metal.
