The art business isn't magic, it's cause and effect
Unstarving Artists gets artists laser-focused on the simple actions that yield big results. You'll find our artists connecting with leads, selling pieces, and producing more work—not chasing fame on social media.
We help scatterbrained do-it-all creatives
This classification describes most artists—heck it describes most people. They feed on shiny objects and noisy fad-driven social media information. Their attention span is measured in seconds and their plans rarely extend past next week.
So uncertain about what to do, they try to do everything, throwing spaghetti at the wall to see if something will finally stick. They see the business side of art as a giant tangled muddy knot of confusion.
Become clear-eyed successful artists
This breed is rare, accounting for only 1% of artists. They feed on value, focus, and productivity. They have a clear-eyed focus, staying on task day after day and week after week. Their plans are long-term.
You won't find them chasing vanity metrics on social media. They are action takers. They are thoughtful, systematic, focused and always win.
Our Approach
Here's how it works
Unstarving Artists delivers everything you need to develop a successful art practice. No lectures or fluff—get to building and playing right away.
Proven Process
- We turned the guesswork of starting/growing an art practice into a science. Follow practical step-by-step instructions that are proven to work and track your progress using simple metrics.
Mental Reprogramming
- We pioneered a new way to think about and view the world we live in. Discover who you are—your interests, biases, habits, and thought patterns. Rewire your brain for greater performance.
Artist Community
- It's hard to change your life surrounded by the same people. Join an active community of professional and semi-professional artists, get inspired, collaborate, practice together, make friends, and have fun.
Expert mentorship
- No matter how good our training is (it's world-class), your art practice is unique and you'll always have questions. Get 24/7 access to multi 6-figure experts in our artist community and weekly livestream Q&As.
Proven real-world results with people like you
We don’t hand out certificates, degrees, credentials, badges, or participation awards. We provide our clients with real-world results: collectors, growth, profits, self-improvement, and success.

There Is No Magic Pill
We teach the full stack
Most courses you see out there teach a specific secret "magic pill" like Instagram, Etsy, or Shopify. This creates clueless artists who don’t understand the whole picture.
To build a successful art practice, you must embrace the “full stack”—five connected layers of fundamental principles that build on top of each other.
- Mental awareness — Identity, purpose, discipline, & beliefs
- Mental cognition — Focus, planning, prioritization, & problem solving
- Practice principles — Frameworks, concepts, & mental models
- Practice disciplines — Strategy, service, marketing, & sales
- Practice processes — Tools, systems, workflows, & metrics
Within 30 days, I sold a painting for €3,800—the most I had ever sold my work for. In total I sold €25,800 in my first 60 days. If you want to make more sales you need a mentor one or two steps ahead of you. I would 100% recommend Brandon and I look forward to us working together for a long time.
