I love the idea that you CAN do art and make money. Realistic approaches and interviews with some of my favorite artists, including Leah Piken Kolidas and Michael Nobbs.
I've been recommending Lynda.com instructional vids for 10 years. And guess what? ‒ they still have the best online training, period. Is it time to learn something new? Become adept at all sorts of new media and technology.
