Art Print Insider:
Your Complete System for Print Market Success
What's this all about?
Real expertise. Real results.
The newly revised 20th anniversary, 3rd edition of How to Profit from the Art Print Market represents a lifetime of insight & practical advice
As the foundation of Art Print Insider, the book reflects this wisdom:
Fine art reproductions give artists the power to grow their audience, income, and influence. They are flexible, powerful, and effective.
Become an Insider—And Choose Your Print Market Adventure
As an Insider, you join an "in the know" movement of artists turning prints into passports.
Use prints to fuel your unique journey—and build a creative life on your terms.
I've watched artists build everything from modest side income to million-dollar print operations. The range is extraordinary—some add a few hundred dollars monthly to support their studio costs, others scale to six figures annually, and a rare few have built print empires that transformed their entire lives.
The timing has never been more critical. While galleries consolidate and become increasingly selective, print-on-demand technology has quietly revolutionized everything. You can now offer collectors exactly what they want: the perfect size for their space, the right medium for their budget, custom framing that completes their vision.
● To be an Insider isn’t about joining a group or logging into a platform.
It’s about stepping into a more profound understanding of how your art can thrive in the world.
● Insiders see the print market as more than a product strategy.
They see it as a way to build a business that fits them—with tools they trust, a pace they choose, and a path that’s uniquely their own.
● There’s no pressure to scale. No one-size-fits-all model.
For independent artists, prints aren't just an opportunity anymore—they're becoming essential.
Your Print Journey Concierge
Every print is a step forward. Where it leads is up to you.
Built on 20 Years of Trust
In 2005, I published the first edition of How to Profit from the Art Print Market—because I knew prints could do more for artists.
The Artist's Magazine's North Light Book Club saw the potential and ordered nearly 2,000 copies, validating that working artists needed this practical guidance.
My belief came from decades inside the art industry—publishing, promoting, and producing top trade shows.
I saw firsthand how prints gave artists more options, more freedom, and more staying power.
That hasn't changed. It's only become more essential.
This isn't a trend I'm forecasting—it's a vision I've been proving for two decades.
The Market Has Shifted. The Opportunity Is Real.
Artists today face real headwinds: economic uncertainty, digital fatigue, and a fast-changing landscape.
But the art print world is expanding. Fine art print sales are growing. Tools like print-on-demand are more accessible than ever.
What once required galleries and gatekeepers can now be done from your studio—with clarity, intention, and the right support.
Art Print Insider Is Your Journey Concierge
Use it to create your print market adventure—at your pace, in your voice, with your values.
Everything—the book, guide, AI, and ads mastery—is based on real-world experience.
There’s no pressure to scale.
No complex technologies or time-consuming communities involved.
Now you have a clear path and the encouragement to walk it your way.
Art Print Insider will get you there.
