Questionnaire for Artists
Mark Murphy
Legacy brand builder empowering brands, publishers, institutions, and storytellers to bring visionary ideas to life.
Practicing as a full-time fine artist is never easy and if you ever considered doing so this brief Questionnaire may help.
After more than 25 years working with over 1000 artists from around the globe, I believe consistent focus, dedicated practice, luck, and determination will get you there in time. Once a year, it might be a useful practice to use the following to help you evolve your practice.
Please share your story. And reach out if you need additional help. I would be honored to lend a hand.

5 年This is really cool. I will have to do this because I’m on sabbatical right now and it never hurts to establish goals!
