When is a good time to hire a rep or publicist or rep ? How do you go about finding one worth their salt?
Hi, I'm looking to get in more galleries with my work. I've had luck with my rep in NY, they even took my work to Art Miami ( Basel week), but really need more locations to sell. In-person viewing is really the only way i sell art. I'm looking for advice on where to find a coach or rep, or publicist -- i guess I'm searching for the next steps in my career building and we never covered this kind of stuff when i got my MFA.
How do I become/get a job as an Illustrator?
I have always loved art and drawing growing up and my dream career is to become a graphic novelist/cartoonist. It would be cool to publish my own graphic novels or illustrate other's books but how do I do that? I also would like to know where character designers or concept artists work and what art software do I need to learn to create my art in those career fields?

How do you balance a hobby you love with a career that can support you?
I am about to be a junior at a High school in New York, and most people are expecting me to know what I want my future career path to be. However, for the longest time, I have been on the fence on what I should be doing because the career path I want isn't the most guaranteed to give me a steady salary (Art). However, the career that most people believe I should pursue doesn't really make me excited for my future. I was hoping to get advice that could help me reason out my future. Thanks!

How can I get a business off the ground?
My parents have always encouraged me (14) to have my own business, so I when I suggested that I sell my art, they were super excited. However, due to our extremely busy lives, the idea of me owning a small business was thrown to the side for at least a year. I want to start a business, but I have no clue what to do. I have so many options, but I’m not sure which would be the most profitable. I could crochet pieces and sell them, I could make digital stickers and sell them on shirts or sweatshirts, or I could even hand-draw art pieces and sell them that way. The problem is, the website in which I plan to sell on is Etsy, which is SUPER competitive for small businesses focused on selling art. I’m not sure which path would provide the best profit or which path would interfere with my schedule the least. I need help, and fast!
How do I proceed when I have a lot of possible careers but not enough experience in any to work full-time?
I realized late into my college experience that I didn't want to work a math job at all so I finished out my Math degree and am now struggling to find a full-time job I feel qualified for. I have a list of 5 or so potential careers (Including but not limited to: Singer-Songwriter, Writer, Naturalist, Photographer, Artist), but I don't feel like I'm at the point where I could pursue any of them full-time. I'm wondering if I should just get a math job and explore the other options in my free-time, if I should just find any job related to my current interests, or if I should put off getting a full-time job until I get a little clearer in my objective. I'm alright on cash for now, I'd just prefer not to live with my parents for longer than I have to. I'm most likely overthinking this and you probably would need some more information to give a solid path forwards, but whatever. I'm here to listen. Thanks for all your help!
