You can start today and build your own creative busines
In 2008, Jen Adrion and Omar Noory graduated from art school and did what students do—they got good jobs working for other people. They designed great art for corporate clients and got paid well, but they wanted something different.
After a big road trip, Jen and Omar sketched a map of the places they'd been and the ones they longed to visit. They decided to sell the extra prints of the map they'd made for themselves, and a funny thing happened:
Then they made another map … and that one sold out too. It wasn't a fluke.They were on to something … they knew what to do. They made more maps and more maps sold.
Over time, business grew. Corporate clients started calling requesting custom illustrations. Stores asked to stock their maps, growing their audience even further.
"Imagine a life where all your time is spent on the things you want to do. Imagine giving your greatest attention to a project you create yourself, instead of working as a cog in a machine that exists to make other people rich.
Imagine handing a letter to your boss that reads, "Dear Boss, I'm writing to let you know that your services are no longer required. Thanks for everything, but I'll be doing things my own way now."
Fortunately, there's a better way. The solution is bigger to create a body of work that customers line up to buy—regardless of whether you want to keep the day job or not.
Products that sell for profit all have a few things in common. We'll show you exactly what they are and how to build them without compromising your art.
