“Mark Jones has written a classic. Accessible and erudite, laden with facts about the economic impact generated by ‘creative clusters’ and peppered with insights from diverse creators, this book shatters, once and for all, the myth of the starving artist.”
— Ana Serrano, President and Vice-Chancellor, OCAD University
In The Starving Artist Myth, Mark J. Jones addresses the doubt about opportunities in the creative economy by getting at the roots of the stereotype and answering the what, the why, and the how of achieving career goals. Featuring interviews of artists across the spectrum of creative fields and a practical career guide, The Starving Artist Myth lays out a manual for creative career success in a post-pandemic world.
Mark J. Jones is the Dean of The Faculty of Animation, Arts, and Design at Sheridan College.
