How To Become A Successful Artist in 2024 (Proven Strategies)

These videos are growing on me. I am hooked. At 79 years old your youthfulness is a real put-off. Then I thought that the new generation is so much more informed and educated that I had best bury the "the young people today" syndrome and man up. You are an inspiration. And youth like you make me feel the present and the future is in good hands. Thank you for your professionalism and intense dedication. I left the fine art field 2007. Am just now realizing what a loss that has been. I am so excited about what is happening in the art world. You are a wonderful guide.

1. Repeatedly tell Black Rock that they still do not own everything.2. Challenge mainstream media narratives, and paint it. 3. Obsess over people who criticise your ideas and try to paint it. 4. Try see if you can make a deal with the Devil in 2024. 5. Its the end - times. Paint something end - times related or try to perform an end - times themed installation. 6. Write novels and short stories. 7. Try write a few poems or even your first script. 8. A few Manga doodles are not going to hurt your time. 9. Read Hermann Hesse and any other writer recommended by Fiction Beast and beyond. 10. Research Book Tube. Thanks for your video man!! Best wishes from Reykjavik, Iceland!!

I love everything you do, not only for the artists but also for the industry - helping artists to evaluate themselves more adequately results in a serious filtering of ideas and better quality. Although some might get discouraged, but most will look for ways to advance themselves and be more professional.

I love your channel and website so much. It feels like no one else is making content like this and it's specifically what I'm looking for so thank you . <3

Your dog is a good boy!! 😍

Thank you again for videos like this. Back at the easel for 3 years and went down a lot of those dead ends you mentioned from getting bad advice and encountering a lot of grifters. It should always be about the art and finding resonance both in the the work and the art world!

Happy New Year to you and the CAI team. You are doing artists and the artworld a great service.

Thank you so much for this... As I am mid-life and just deciding to step into art it is very inundating. As someone who is very introverted, and a bit isolated, it feels almost impossible to get my feet wet into the pool of the art world. Your videos are extremely informative and I truly appreciate them. The first steps are indeed the hardest...

I’m really grateful for these videos. I am trying to navigate the art world. And I know my art is becoming good. But where to go and how to do this with bad health but a strong desire to succeed. Gallery representation is my goal. Thank you these video’s they are really so helpful. No matter what and how long I’m going to reach the top. Even if it takes years.

Thanks a lot ... Your channel should be subsidized by the mutual fund... As soon as I want to give up I watch one of your videos and I come back to work... All the best to you ✨

Very much appreciate your no-bs message here. Grateful for your honesty.

Superb channel with advice that is realistic, actually useful and demystifying. One teeny weeny criticism would be to PLEASE leave out or reduce the extremely cheesy awful stock videos that do not reflect the message and advice of CAI; especially the videos showing exactly the type of “art” that is NOT going to help artists become successful in the art world that this channel is representing. Big mismatch and could be confusing for inexperienced artists who are trying to break into that particular market… but other than that I do love this channel!! Thanks for your great work! 👏 😊

Thanks so much for your perspective and guidance. It’s really useful

Thank you. In the vain of your organized information… I feel being in the right good resonance and finding the ones who can hold this as a small group … makes a small path for others. I find that when I have at least one good other to share as well as at least them or another to look and discuss about ongoing work. A Good Thing. I’ve noticed I’ll come up with my next step or idea… and then see it online. Which is good to push me to the next step. So far your information sets a vision of good foundation and clarity to help me at least find authentic ways to express, create and also live with the true possibility of livelihood. That many might find a home foundation as well . Such a gift you have. Happy New Year. In Gratitude, Janet

Thank you as always for this helpful suggestions! Hope the upcoming year will be beneficial also for you more than ever

Great way to bring in the new year! I will be taking a hard look at how to best allocate funds. My membership with CAI will continue. I would like to upgrade. As these opportunities arise. The CAI path will as well. One of your readers said, take care of yourself and your art will take care of you. A truly inspirational comment! Your readers comments are sometimes as helpful as yours😊

I really appreciate the content! I learn a lot from it. This is exactly my goal: to be a recognized contemporary artist. I also know that I need to leave time for learning and development, and build a great strategy. Thanks! And I love your dog! :)

I've always enjoyed your insights. Thank you❤
