Free artist resources

Like many of us, I struggled to get the resources I needed to become a full-time artist. I studied other artists online, spent money on books that were more related to graphic design then murals, and wished there was a place I could go the get free resources.
Everything was either just tiny nibbles of information or slightly large chunks that you had to buy.
So I made one, well I made 2, and helped with a 3rd. This one here and I’ll share the other two below. :)
You don’t have to pay anything for these resources, but if you want to buy me a coffee in return I will do a little happy dance!

Sample contract includes pricing and payment schedules. Take it, make it your own. Add clauses that make sense for you then go to one of the resource pages linked to the right >>> and hire a low cost or free lawyer to review it.
Exposure Contract is a great way to hold “exposure” clients accountable so you actually get great exposure from the low cost jobs you encounter.
Two more Resource Pages including far more extensive resource list. Both of these are growing based on community input.

Supply List has basic supplies to the strange and unusual for those weird jobs in a staircase. You don’t need all of these to be successful. I still don’t own most of this. Just borrow from your friends until your using something enough that it makes sense to buy it.
Job Check List & Pricing Guide gives a quick run down of how to assess a jobsite and gives a break down of pricing, as well.
