    Meant for new graduates, not career changers Review by GM
    Rating

    Some good information here, but much of it is a waste of time. A kind of "What Color is Your Parachute" workbook for the artistic set, this over-designed book seems meant for first-career artists rather than mid-life career changers like me. Had that been made clear, I wouldn't have been so eager to buy it as part of the Building Your Art Business Starter Kit. As a former graphic designer transitioning into a fine art career, I find the excessive design elements both dated looking and distracting.
