POLITICS!
by
Karyl Miller, prez SCCS
9/14/2008

It’s that time again.  Don’t you just
love the smell of campaign
rhetoric in the air?  I’ve got the
news on 24/7 and I STILL read the
newspaper and surf the web to
read more.  I can’t get enough of
it – and I’m not the only one.         
Women are especially energized
this election season.  In case you
didn’t know it, we’re mad as hell
and we’re bonding our asses off.  
I haven’t emailed with this many
people since 9/11!  
How to become a professional artist!

How do I ( or my son or daughter )
become a professional  artist?"  That's
a question every pro's been asked
countless times.  I relish the question
as it means an informed  person
realizes that Art is a valid career
choice, instead of just  a hobby.  Too
many well meaning parents and high
school counselors simplistically  think
that a career in Art is just selling
"creations" in galleries.  That actually
is a small part of commercial art career
choices which, like all careers, is
based on interest and talent and a
strong desire to learn.
