Risky Business

Business involves risk — daring greatly always comes with a chance of failure and loss. Artists and illustrators often avoid risk whenever possible, but in order to succeed as an entrepreneur and as a creator, you need to take risk. How do you decide if a risk is worth taking? How do you assess your options before starting an illustration project or new work? And how do you prepare yourself for failure and success? Jake Parker, Lee White, and Will Terry do a deep dive into the nuances of business risk from an illustrator’s perspective, and outline several key steps to making sure your business moves pay off.
