Surviving as an Artist

Since this is money and abundance week finishing up, here’s a couple of fine interviews by Danny Gregory with Penelope Dullaghan and Torontian Alana Machnicki on how they survive financially as artists. Go to the link for the interviews:

By Danny Gregory

Recently, I asked two successful illustrator to share some of the details of their lives, particularly to explain this issue of commitment and financial survival. First, Penelope Dullaghan, whom you may know as the originator of Illustration Friday. She took the leap from advertising into full-time illustration a couple of years ago and I remember how suspenseful but ultimately very satisfying the whole process was for her.

Second is Torontian Alana Machnicki. I like her drawings a lot and am inspired by the broad range of ways she applies them. I have learned a lot from both their stories. I hope you find them useful too.
