Editor reviews

Brainard Carey hopes to shatter the tiresome myth of the struggling artist in Making It in the Art World, a valuable resource for artists hoping to gain greater success and more lucrative opportunities from their work. Carey, co-founder of the collaborative art duo Praxis, generously outlines some key factors, from unconventional thinking to fostering interpersonal relationships and building a community, all delivered by Peter Drew in an urgent and forceful performance that renders Carey's advice all the more motivational. Thanks to Carey, listeners are shown that it is possible to have a long-lasting and fulfilling career as a principled artist.

Interesting stories about famous artists and their own (often highly eccentric) success stories, but not as useful to aspiring artists as the blurb makes out. Very financially driven, with a particularly tedious American bloke narrating the entire thing.

Stories with a bland narrator

Needed to put the speed up to 1.3 and then was able to listen as otherwise it was unbearably monotonous. Amazing tips tho and will listen again soon

Great tips but monotone to listen

the book has some intelligent remarks, but it's all about art as a business. not exactly what i wish, ideally, art to be, or be about. i got this book expecting to hear a discourse on art, instead this seems to focus on all the wrong things, from my perspective.

not the message i wanted to hear

The narrator reads extremly monotone like a robot. There are perhaps some good advises to find here for some readers, but none that I remember as particular useful in the end.

very boring and uninspiring
