KEY TAKEAWAYS
If you want to Kickstart a project, make sure you figure out your shipping weights ahead of time — it can add up, especially overseas.
As high-tier offers for illustration work have started to dry up, publishing your own work has become a more lucrative option for many artists.
Smaller and niche books do great self-published. Publishers don’t want to sell something unless it can move thousands of copies a week. They need blockbusters, but niche books can be profitable for individual artists!
We have way more access to technology and that makes art and learning much easier.
Working on your own projects means you can take more time on it, but a deadline can be useful to make sure you get your work finished on time.
