Cameron Lee Price is an actor making leaps and bounds! With a recent national commercial spot, Cameron takes us through his experiences juggling multiple agents, self-taped auditions, a few relocations to find the work, and what he worked through as a film producer. Cameron also stared in the latest, Little Grey Cat film, Ignorant Creatures. Zoe and Claire had a bit of fun this episode with someone they've worked with quite extensively in the past! You can hear in their voices how much Cameron brings to the table and it was an absolute treat to have him a part of Muse Unseen.
Braden Duncan of Clockwork Art was a wonderful guest and it was a treat to have her on. We talked about all things art business related and really dive into some of the ways you can make painting a full time career. In this episode we discovered that Braden lost 80% of her revenue due to Covid-19! Where did she lose it from and how did she recover? You'll have to listen to find out!
In the episode Braden mentioned that she would share a bunch of resources here so we thought it best to just drop the email below. If you're looking for a supplier or just some advice for Patreon and Merch, check it out below.

Some follow-up that I don't remember if I touched on in the interview:
Patreon:
*Create exclusive content for paying Patrons so that the platform offers them something more than standard social media & invites them to be part of the process (e.g. behind-the-scenes, tutorials, in depth inspiration posts, monthly merch, polls & other interactions, sales, 1st dibs on new pieces & merch)
*Post consistently so Patrons have something to look forward to (e.g. monthly features, weekly updates, sequential projects, new pieces in a series, sneak peeks of new projects)
*Start small & offer rewards you can realistically fulfill & are invested in; you can always add more rewards/tiers later. :)
*Overall an awesome platform for more direct interactions with followers & fans that sidestep complicated social media algorithms
Merch:
*Figure out your budget, order what you can reasonably afford & have the space to store
*Trial & error - some images translate better to different products, quality & consistently can vary widely between suppliers
*Understand your audience & sales platform (popularity of the design & the merch, in person vs online sales)
*Small orders are great for trying out a new supplier, comparing materials & quality, and quicker turnaround time (but cost tends to be more per item)
*Bulk orders are great for popular images when you have an established audience & a trusted supplier (more cost-effective per item, but can take longer)
*Presentation & professionalism (protecting your pieces for display/handling/transport/shipping)
There's so much more, lol! A Q&A session might be a better way to go for specifics, since every creative tends to have slightly different needs.
