Starving Artist - art, money, freelancing, and how to live creatively

This episode is the first of a new kind of episode, one where I take your questions, and try to get the smartest people I can think of to answer them. This time actress Caitlin Stasey, appearance activist Carly Findlay, and cartoonist Gorkie answer a question about the pressure on women to use their image to promote their creative work.

Frances Cannon is a full-time artist, body positivity activist, and Instagram queen. I've watched Frances' work explode online over the past few years, and I sat at home thinking "what does your life look like when that happens?" Fortunately Frances was kind enough to answer that question for me when I interviewed her a few months ago. We talked about going #viral, selling your work online, and preparing yourself for the fact that Instagram might not be around forever.

This is just a little update to let y'all know two things: 1) Starving Artist is changing it's upload time to 6pm Wednesdays AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) so it'll be ready for your mid-week commute. And 2) I'm starting a new segment where I try to answer your art + money questions! Instead of me answering though I'm trying to find the smartest person I can think of to answer your conundrums. Honestly I'm already in awe of who's been willing to answer your questions, and so I'm really excited to see where this will go. If you want to ask a question you can @ me (@honor_eastly) or Starving Artist (@starveart) on Twitter with the hashtag #AskAnArtist, and I'll see what I can do.

Last year Peter launched a Kickstarter for his first board game, Scuttle! Which raised 3000% over it's initial goal, and made $87,000. He then followed that up by releasing another game through Kickstarter later that year that made $89,000.

In this episode we talk at length about the trials and tribulations of Kickstarter, what it's like to run your own company, and how to survive outside of the approval loop.

Wendy is the editor at i-D, a subsidiary of VICE, and basically the most bad-ass boss I know. She's a nuanced, emotionally intelligent hustler, but she wasn't always this way. A few years back she went through the process of asking for a raise. A big one. Along the way, she learned a lot about the art of negotiation, how much this stuff matters at your 10 year high school reunion, and just how hard it is to work out how much you're worth.

Five years ago Tom Dickins did something that many people would find stupid: on the back of advice from his friend Amanda Palmer, he decided to quit his job and, without savings, live off his art. He had no plan, no idea, but a lot of enthusiasm and resourcefulness.

This week you'll hear him reflect on that decision, what worked, what didn't, and whether he'll ever be able to buy a house.
