I am an artist starting out in my art career. In my research I have come across various terms related to artists in the careers, such as emerging artist and mid-career artist. I assume an emerging artist is one that is just starting out. But what constitutes a mid-career artist? Thank you.
Mid-career would be someone who’s been out there for a while, selling regularly, but hasn’t yet reached their peak.
*sigh* just one more label to add to my resume…
Well I like to get Vans Warped Tour cds and Take Action, Punk Goes _____, etc. But I was wondering, if I don’t have any other songs by an artist on that cd is there any way to have them in the artist section in my ipod’s music?
By the way, I have an Apple Ipod classic, 80gb and it works fine.
Any help?
Under Artist for each song just put the name of the Artist. Then under Album Artist, put Various Artists or whoever else you want to put there. Then the songs themselves will be displayed as their own artists, but if you search for/organize them under album, then you will find them as one "Various Artists" Artist.
I know there must be some software used to draw characters on websites??
or am i the only one who finds it effing hard to draw using a mouse??

I think being a tattoo artist would be a fun job. Do they make good pay? I’m not looking to rake in thousands of dollars but just enough to pay for normal living expenses such as an apartment, groceries, ect. How do I go about becoming a tattoo artist? And does anyone have any tips?
You have to apprentice…self taught scratchers rarely ever make it in the real tattoo world.
The money, ha ha ha ha ha, I’m apprenticing, I do NOT make a cent off of anything that I do, which is why I still pierce. If it wasn’t for continuing to pierce, I wouldn’t even be able to drive back and forth to work everyday. I have to agree with the guy above about having to love the lifestyle, it’s not easy, it’s not all fun and games, and it sure as hell isn’t something to do unless it is an artform that you absolutely love and want to put a lot of time and effort into. The hours are long, the business is totally unpredictable (you may be slammed on a Monday, back to back tattos, then on Tuesday, only do one or 2, then Wednesday do none, then Thursday be slammed all day again…you never know what to expect when you walk in the doors from day to day.).
All these freakin t.v. "reality tattoo" shows have really started a trend of bad artwork coming out of people’s kitchens, and have triggered a domino effect of people pouring into studios on a daily basis begging for apprenticeships. Most of these people only want to do it because they think it would be cool to say "I’m a tattoo artist"…this even goes for piercing, I’ve already turned down 3 people this week begging for apprenticeships and it’s only Thursday.
I’ve been in studio’s since I was 14 (10 years ago), just watching, listening, and getting to know how the business works. I apprenticed to pierce in 2002 for 15 months, during which I also learned scarification (tattoo machine and cuttings/skin removal), now 4 years later I’m apprenticing to tattoo and am nearing the end of my first year with a whole year left to go. Body modification is my life, my goals are to learn everything there is to learn that can be done to the human body. The lifestyle is something that I love, changing people’s body’s to make them more beautiful in their eyes is what drives me, and the money that comes from it is only a bonus. To me it’s about helping people be more comfortable in their own skin.
If it is something that you’ve just recently developed an interest in, then it’s not something you should be considering as a profession…the majority of us in this business didn’t just wake up one day and decide to become a tattoo artist, piercer, scarification artist, etc, we had an interest in it for a long time before taking the leap into becoming a professional. We didn’t just have our opportunities handed to us either, we had to prove ourselves to ourself and our peers, and then prove that we really did have what it takes to advance and become the professionals we are today.
Back to apprenticing, don’t just walk into a studio and ask for an apprenticeship, start out hanging around, getting to know the artist, then find out if they need some counter help, if they do, take it. Learn how the studio works as a business, after a while start expressing your interest in learning about modification, if you’ve proved yourself you may be offered an apprenticeship, if not give it time and ask for one. Be prepared for a year or more of grueling tasks….setting up and breaking down for the artist, cleaning their equipment, doing their line drawings, basically being their b*tch until they are ready to start working with you with a machine in your hand. It’s not something that happens over night. If you don’t have any artistic ability, then before even doing this, take some classes at a local college in art…without artistic ability you are only a tattooist, with artistic ability you then are a tattoo artist. (There is a difference…a true tattoo artist can draw anything a client requests…there are others who can only do flash, and as I’ve been taught, those are the tattooists.)

We all know that artists generally see the "deeper" side of life, but is this all the time, or only when they choose, such as in the process of creating the art? Is the regular person incapable of seeing, or for the most part understanding what the artist sees? Is the artistic perception a part of every person that just needs exercise to be accessed? How do you truly know if you are an artist?
These are my general questions, which of course lead into many others.
No, they don’t see any "deeper" side of life; they just have more creative imaginations than many of us.
How did the artist Georgia O’Keeffe’s upbringing and interests influence her work?
Thanks for your help.
This is well covered during the tour of the O’Keeffe museum in Santa Fe. There is also a lot of information about her that you can find by doing a GOOGLE search.
What does the producer do for the artist? What does the artist have to do, still write their own songs, or does the record label write your songs, what about the beats, money deals?
It does completely vary from artist to artist and the level of creative control also varies from artist to artist. In some cases an artist has recorded and album and the label just picks it up and releases it as is. In some cases a label will find someone who has a few of their own songs but has a great voice and lots of charisma (usually pure pop stars) and they will arrange for co-writes or songs for them to sing and which producers to work with.
A producer generally tries to help an artist make the best album possible. Producers also vary in their approach and the degree to which they get involved. Many of them help with songwriting and arrangement – some of them are more engineering oriented and just help with the recording process and don’t tamper with the song structure or writing too much.
Money deals vary. Most major labels are doing what they call 360 deals whereby in exchange for putting the record out and putting money behind the artist the label gets to participate in all of the streams of revenue that and artist has including publishing, merch, touring, corporate sponsorship etc.
With regard to who keeps what – classically an artist would keep between 10-20 points (percent) of the income generated by record sales after the costs of making and promoting the record had been recouped but this was in an era before labels participated in other revenue streams as well.
Hope that helps.

I need to do a project where you talk about an artist that is authentic in a genre, and an artist that is not. Ideas for places to find information would be great too. Any suggestions?
you do realize that you posted this to Visual Arts/Paintings and not Audio?
