Ask An Artist - Is Your Website Harming Your Business?
3 februari 2023 · 44 min
There was time when every one said you must have a website! In this age of social media, online galleries, YouTube, teaching platforms and so on, do we as Artists still need our own website? In this episode, Peter and Tom discuss whether websites are still relevant, some good practice and some pitfalls to avoid. Lees meer
There are many different ways a website can be used but essentially, it is your Artist's shop window. If we want to be clean and professional then the website must align with this; if we are more informal, then our website should align with this instead.
A website can be many different things, so be clear what you want and need from one and with so many simple and budget friendly options to use, there’s not really a reason not to have one.

Ask An Artist - NFT's
9 december 2022 · 43 min
In this episode, Peter and Tom attempt to have an open minded discussion about the ins and outs of the controversial, potentially exciting, and certainly intriguing world of NFTs. Lees meer
Even for those who don’t know much about them, maybe don’t know anything about them, the presence of NFT's has been unavoidable. It seems to be something taking the art world (and beyond) by storm but what a divider of opinion! Some artists are going all in, other people think they are utter non-sense... with just about every possible opinion in between.
So...what are NFTs? Is it a fad or are they here to stay? How are they changing the art world? As creators, should we all be desperately scrabbling to get into the NFT market now? Are we missing out if we don’t?
Join Peter and Tom for a really engaging and interesting discussion ...

Ask an Artist - Asking for help
2 december 2022 · 44 min
It is a sad fact that about 20% of small business fail in their first year and around 60% of small businesses fail within the first 3 years. That is indeed a sobering thought for us working artists, trying to earn a living. And the reasons for this? After poor cash flow, the second reason small businesses give is the inability to source and afford help; help to grow, help to promote and help to create the work we are all so passionate about. So today, Peter and Tom discuss the range of ways they have sought help from others to help grow their business and creative practice, alongside other ideas that may help you as well. Lees meer

Ask an Artist - Interview with Andrew Tischler
20 mei 2022 · 47 min
In this week's episode, Tom interviews New Zealand based artist, Andrew Tischler. Lees meer
Andrew has been a professional artist for the past 17 years. He is drawn to vast landscapes, people, objects and animals, painting a wide variety of subjects in a realist style. His goal for every painting is to achieve a convincing sense of reality and break the constraints of the two dimensional surface.
His obsession with realist painting led him to study many of the great masters from the past and seek to understand how they made such magnificent pictures. From this, alongside his passion for painting, he has developed a passion for teaching and is eager to share what he has learnt over the years.
He is not only a very successful painter but he has also amassed a huge following on YouTube having started his channel in 2016 which has now grown to over 400k followers.
Andrew begins by telling Tom a bit about his back story and how he got to be an artist, before he and Tom dive into the world of online content - what is it and how can we create it, alongside creating our art work?
Tom and Andrew discuss the why's and wherefore's, the do's and don'ts and how, if it's ever possible, to create a balance between authentically creating art and creating content. Andrew openly shares his wealth of experience but ultimately concludes by saying that each artist's journey will be unique; in the same way that there isn't just one way to be an Artist, there isn't just one way to create online content as part of your art career.
An insightful interview and a must listen for any Artist or creative considering going into the world of video tutorials.

Ask An Artist - Mailing Lists
13 mei 2022 · 38 min
Mailing lists – on the face of it, not the most exciting of topics but a crucial part any working, creative business and a fantastic way to stay in touch with an already keen and receptive audience. Both Peter and Tom have developed a newfound love for their mailing lists during the past couple of years and in this episode they talk about what they are, how to collect and manage one, why they can be such an amazing tool and also some of the nitty gritty of being responsible for other people’s information. Lees meer
Mailing lists can be a wonderful tool for any creator. You have a receptive audience of previous buyers or students, interested parties, right at your finger tips and often they will be genuinely interested, if not actually excited to hear from you! Not only can mailing lists be used to directly sell, you can also use them to help remind people you still exist and they are a great way to take care of those who have supported you and your career so far.

Ask An Artist - Taking Risks: Is it worth it?
8 april 2022 · 29 min
Running your own business is a risky business, with 20% of businesses failing in their first year and a shocking 60% failing within the first three. But making decisions and taking risks is all part of running any business, including the creative business of being an Artist. The calculation of risk is an essential skill which all artists and makers need to hone in order to forge ahead in their career. Lees meer
In this episode, Peter and Tom share examples of creative and business orientated risks that they have taken and discuss why and how taking risks can be crucial in helping you to maintain momentum in your business. They also openly share examples of when taking risks has not worked out, why this may be and how they have used these situations to develop, learn and move forward.
Both Tom and Peter agree that the willingness to experiment with new ideas has been the key to their business growth. They bring the episode to a conclusion by talking about less quantifiable results which may emerge from taking risks; just because something might feel like a failure at the time, you never know what may come of it in the future…
This week's takeaway... risk taking is a part of running any business and artists and makers are not alone. It is often the risk takers of the world that forge ahead, attract attention and lead the way. Just remember that not all risks are good ones and, when you fail, learn from it; pick yourself up, dust yourself off and move forward.

Ask an Artist - Transitioning your art business, post-covid
18 maart 2022 · 42 min
In this episode, Peter and Tom talk about the challenges they have both faced over the past two years, due to the pandemic and how they have changed their artistic businesses and continue to transition to this “new-normal” way of working. Lees meer
Back in the spring of 2020, both Peter and Tom were hit hard when Covid hit the UK, losing a large proportion of their income in a very short space of time. With this uncertainty and lack of security, their creativity fell completely flat!
They move on to reflecting on how, once the initial “damage control” period was over, and the initial shock subsided, it was a change of mindset which helped them to decide on what was most important to them and how they could continue working as an Artist.
This week’s takeaway…challenges or problems will inevitably come your way as an Artist, but it’s how you face them that matters; thinking creatively, looking at a problem in a different way, being flexible, identifying new ways of working which can be welcome additional, income streams, will all help your business to become stronger and more resilient in the long run.
