Mom, I'm an Artist! How to Make Creativity a Profitable Profession

An artist is not a real profession! 

Every creative person has heard this phrase at least once in their life. But what if that's not true at all? 

In this book, the well-known artist-illustrator Lesya Guseva has decided to address all the questions that artists, designers, and illustrators face. Together with her, you will understand who an artist really is, what they can do, where they look for clients and projects, how to create a well-crafted selling portfolio, and how to build a personal brand. In addition, you will explore equally important issues: burnout, finding yourself, and your goals in your career.

Lesya Guseva is an artist-illustrator with over 11 years of experience. Her portfolio includes projects with both Russian and foreign companies, such as Gazprombank, Gazprom-Media, VK, Samokat, Honor, MGA, Kotex, Playrix, Xp-pen, Parblo. But you surely know her as the author of the very same squirrel Krashka Shi or the creator of Pensioneria.
