Are you constantly sidetracked and hindered on your path to becoming the best illustrator ever by the piling of collateral activities (contracts, negotiation, finances, self promotion, etc.) that seem to incessantly leech your creative energies,

Or have you lost clarity and sense of purpose and are struggling to balance artistic and financial goals to further your career - you feel like your head is spinning due to a seemingly unsurmountable amount of management problems draining your time and stamina, THEN this short yet powerful seminar is designed to bring you some much needed clarity!

Topics to be covered:

  • understand your value and that of your work
  • learn to visualise your long-term goals and put yourself on the path to achieve them
  • manage your time with purpose and understand that time is the only currency that really matters
  • be flexible and open to opportunities, think out of the canvas
  • promote yourself by focusing on what matters, skills, presentation and networking
  • negotiate like a professional, don’t get lost into the legal jargon and focus on obtaining what is most important to you
