How is your book helping others?
The Conquering Creative, written and illustrated by William Warren, describes how creatives can build a real, thriving career or business out of their creative passions and dispels the myth that artists either have to sell out...or starve. They do, however, have to think critically about how their creative work is a product that creates marketplace value. As founder and CEO of The Sketch Effect, an illustration and animation company that provides businesses with creative visual communication goods and services, Warren draws upon his decades of experience in marrying the worlds of business and art. He leans on his own early struggles leaving his “real business job” at a Fortune 500 company, and lays out nine critical shifts creatives must use to build a sustainable business without sacrificing passion. This book will prove indispensable to anyone who refuses to become the “starving artist” stereotype.
