In his number one bestseller, Selling Art Online, Dave Conrey showed readers how to take their creative work, and turn it into cash, by finding new ways to put the art into the hands of potential buyers that the artists may not have had access to before. In this new series, Patience & Ritual, Dave Conrey takes you on his own personal journey of creating art in new ways. The idea behind Patience & Ritual came about as part of The 100 Day Project, an annual, free event that encourages people to pursue a creative endeavor, and dedicate themselves to it for at least 100 days. Conrey took up the challenge, and started on a journey that would not only take him into new creative areas, but philosophical ones as well. In this compendium, Conrey discusses how important he believes the tenets of patience and ritual have helped him not only achieve his goal of 100 days of painting, but further understand his purpose surrounding the project. He also discusses his reasons behind using strong, empowered women as the centerpiece for his art, and in part three, there's a conversation around artists identifying their true calling and how that understanding can lead to bigger things. Since leaving the corporate job sector, Dave Conrey has spent a large portion of his time helping creative individuals find more worth and value in their work. Even though he is now spending more time expressing his own creativity, that pull to help others persists. This book, and the rest in the series, are meant to be beacons toward progressive ideas around art and inspiration. There's also a lot of cool art within the pages too.
