A working toolkit for artists, designers and creatives building a career that pays. Five chapters covering where you begin and why it does not determine where you end up, how to turn an internship into real proof of work, the four positions a creative can earn from, the pathways inside each one, and the ESC Method for leaving the struggling-artist phase behind.
Includes the Creative Quadrant framework, three Practice Labs, a green-flags and red-flags exercise, an internship readiness checklist, a final career readiness checklist, a glossary of twelve terms, and bonus pages from the Mural Maker's Playbook.
Written from a decade running a creative studio in one of the most expensive cities in the world, and from mentoring interns, designers and freelancers through the same decisions.
Digital publication, 80 pages.
