And how nice of you to spend the time with the grad student. I've heard of many profs who are territorial with their secrets, which just blows me away. Your students are fortunate. Thanks, Philip.

We all gradually create our own, individualized art market as a culmination of the thousands of little steps we take, both in creating the work and then what we do to get it seen. There really aren't any secrets. A few years back one of the graduate students at MICA who helped me teach my Life Drawing class asked if he could take me out to dinner in exchange for hints at how to have a successful painting career. I knew he was broke, so I turned him down on the free dinner, but I did talk with him at length about life after art school. Pretty much told him exactly what Alyson listed above.
