The business model of an artist isn't about art really, it's more about channeling money from somewhere else in order to keep doing it. Now that I am moving, the available sources of money change too and I have to reconsider my options:
- Become a full time sculptor: Uhh, not really. Probably the least attractive option in terms of finance. Maybe a few years later, but I am just getting started with showing my work (1 1/2 year so far) and haven't lived long enough in the UK to have a decent personal network. If I would I think I have to make more artwork that has a neutral feel. If I look at work of other artists that sell regularly, they have either been around for a long time or have a more 'commercial style'. My work is quite specific, which makes it unique and special, but perhaps not that appealing to a bigger audience. BUT ANYWAY I WILL NEVER STOP MAKING CHALLENGING WORKS!
- Part time job in what I used to do: part time jobs in financial controlling are hard to find and I expect it will be difficult to get them with being out of it for 4 years. If I could, it probably earns better than the average part time job and means I can do a job that actually requires thinking. Love numbers.
- Part time job in finance admin: Less challenging, but ok. Most vacancies of all my options. Could be ok work, but admin jobs can differ a lot.
- Part time job in sport: Lots of passion for sport and is something new, although I have a lot of experience in it. Would be very interesting and even more if it was about outdoor sports. Haven't seen much adverts.
- Part time job in art: Same as the sport one, less experience, but getting more every day. Would work well with making sculptures. Not many adverts.
- I could also do something as an independent person, like doing freelance work in sport or providing services like being a mountain bike guide.
Writing it down helps, let these thoughts do their work and see what I think in a few weeks....
