Let Me Personally Help You Turn Your Passion for Art and Design Into a "Real" Career.

Perhaps you've tried:

Hanging you work in a coffee shop, restaurant or gallery, only to sell a piece or two to friends and family. Or worse had your work returned with food splatters on it or damaged?! (Been there and done that.)

Set up a booth at a craft fair or show only to sit outside in the blistering heat and barley sell enough to cover the cost of the space. (Or maybe it rained and you had a river running through your tent! (True story.)

Had friends and family tell you that "only 2% of creatives will even make it." (Heard this.) I get it! I've been there and done those things too!

It is possible to earn a living with your art.

I have the proof! I've done the research! 🤓

I have interviewed over 60 + artists and creatives from all different fields looking for the common threads to what will make you successful. I have shared their stories and journeys on the podcast.

And I have implemented them in my own life. I went from teaching art, to making art. I designed and launched a craft company. And now my kinesthetic craft designs are carried by stores from Pennsylvania to Alaska. Over 400 of my pieces are represented by a prominent art agency and are available for licensing. And my fine art is available and sold internationally.

It is possible to make a living with your creativity, regardless of what medium you work in.

With the right game plan you can do it!

I want to help you come up with that plan, implement it, & turn your dream into a reality.

If you are an artist, designer, illustrator or photographer, you are probably already very good at your craft. The thing that may be standing in your way is the organization, the systems or the technology.

Getting organized, putting systems in place, understanding the technology and the marketing can be really complicated.

You may have questions, like:

How should I organize my work?

How can I create a collection of art and design for art licensing?

How can I find art buyers and places to license my work?

How do I pitch my art for licensing?

How do I add metadata so my art, design, illustration, or photography will its shows up in an image search?

Which social media platforms should I focus on? And how often -and what- should I post?!

What's the difference between posts, reels, and stories and how do I make them?

How do I set up my camera and studio so I can get great photographs and video of my work?

What platform should I use to build a website? And how ⁉

How do I create a pop-up or add coupons to my website?

How do I manage my email list? What should I say? And how often?

How do I manage my email list? What should I say? And how often?

That's why I created this special elite 1-on-1 program,

"What They Don't Teach You In Art School"

Let me introduce myself.

Hi, If you don't know me yet, I'm Erin Sparler.

I'm the host and author of the Artist APPEALS. I'm a published and licensed artist. And I'm a former college Professor of Digital Art.

I’ve helped hundreds of students learn the skills and master the technology they need to create and market their art. I taught Multimedia and Internet Production and later Digital Arts as a full time college Professor for 12 years. I helped write the curriculum and the educational resources for several well known text books.

The thing is, art school programs only have a limited number of credit hours and classes in which to teach you everything you need to know. I can attest to this. I had just 6 classes I could choose to include as "required" classes in the program.

Art and design programs have to include classes such as design basics, several levels of drawing and painting classes, art history, as well as all the softwares you need to learn in the program. Plus you also have to take math, science, and humanities classes. By the time you include and take all these required classes to obtain your degree, there just isn't the time to teach you all the marketing and business skills you need too!

That's why I call this program "What They Don't Teach You In Art School."

This program is meant to give you the marketing, sales and business skills you need to make your dream come to life.

I've taught over 200+ classes in art, design and technology.

And now I've combined that teaching experience with real world experiences and in depth research to give you the answers you want and need!

I share with you my experiences designing craft kits, developing toys, and art licensing. These are personal stories, real life experiences, and knowledge that you just can't learn in art school.

Now in this 1-on-1 program you get to ask your questions and get 1-on-1 attention like never before!

Grow your artistic and creative career with an experienced and understanding mentor.

Get 1-on-1 guidance as I walk you step-by-step through the technology and software I use daily to implement the 7 steps of the APPEALS system and learn exactly how to prepare, market, and license your art, design and illustration.
