About "Breaking into the Art World":In his book, Marshall shares what he has learned about breaking into the art world.The book is not about how to draw or paint, it's about reproducing, marketing, and selling art. Written from an artist perspective for other artists who often ask "can you make a living with your art and how did you make the jump to being a full time artist?". If you draw or paint, this book will show you how you can reproduce, market and sell your own art.
 , BarnesAndNoble.com, and you can order it at your local Borders Books store. You can also buy it directly from the publisher at: www.VirtualBookWorm.com“I had no clue how to reproduce my art and package it up to offer for sale. Then my destiny crossed paths with Marshall White. A few months later my art prints were being sold in several shops in Kona, Hawaii. The valuable information in this book is what Marshall so generously shared with me along the way. Written in an easy to understand format with step-by-step instructions, it is written by an artist for artists. Not only should this book be a “must read” for any artist wishing to reproduce and sell their work, it should also be on the “Required Reading” list of any art school.” S.E. Montroy - www.Art-of-Aloha.com “As an artist who has faced the same dilemma as many artists, and having read many “how to succeed” books that have some good information but always seem to fall short, this book is the first that I have read that I can relate to virtually all of the information. Marshall has shown a very realistic account on how to succeed. He is not only a very good artist and a great friend, but I feel that he has written the best “how to” book that I have read and highly recommend it to any artist that is trying to succeed in the art field.” Randy Nagle - www.RandyNagle.com Published by: Virtualbookworm.com Publishing - www.VirtualBookWorm.com P.O. Box 9949 College Station, TX 77842 Toll-Free: 877-376-4955 ISBN# 1-58939-762-2 Authors Comments:The feedback I've received on it is that it's "impressively insightful", "wonderful and will help many other artists".Honestly, I wish someone had written this book before I made the jump to being a full time artist. If I had the information in this book sooner, I wouldn't have waited till I was 39 to start my art career. It's everything I've learned related to breaking into the art world, from my own experiences and experiences of others I know. I didn't write the book because I wanted to be a writer, I never had that desire. I wrote it because I was having long conversations with a different artists every week who wanted to know how I broke into the art world and was I making a living at it. I was explaining the same information over and over again until finally I realized that if I wrote it all down, I could just hand them the book. I could go back to painting, and for $20 bucks, they'd know everything I know ( which is a deal considering how much money I spent on making my own mistakes doing things the hard way ). Cover Art: The painting on the cover is a self portrait and was made just prior to my leap into the art world full time. It expresses my frustration with the art world system, a system designed for artists, and yet seems also made to keep artists out. It also expresses my determination to break in against all odds. Look for "Breaking into the Art World" to be available on my website, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Borders Books and several other websites around July of 2005. |
