Making It: The Artist's Survival Guide

Here's a book for aspiring artists written by a successful artist. Combining the author's own story with answers to the tough questions rising artists inevitably have, this book is not only about the creative process but also about navigating the turbulent waters of the social, professional, critical, and museum world artists inhabit.

In the form of a guide on how to become an artist and still survive, in a playful and easy digestible way JASA and Noah Charney present the nature of contemporary art, and provide the signposts for young people. In times of lack of confidence in didactics and authorities, facing depletion and break-up of existing culture paradigm, they get to the heart of the issue, that art is not a profession, nor a hobby, but a specific condition rather, state of existence, an endless process consisting of a combination of dreams, doubts, successes, failures and hopes.
