What I'm really asking here; is what does it take to be notice as a true artist and is it true that you don't become famous until you're dead? My medium is “Photography Manipulation” and was told by a fellow artist in my new home town, that there is no future in photography art. This has crushed me and I have stopped producing pictures and have turned back to my poetry. Which that too was knocked down stating that there’s no money in that either. So what should I do, how do I become noticed or famous in what I love to do every day?

After watching Heroes I thought I would quite like to be able to draw like Isaac's character (although obviously without the predicting the future bit)
For those who don’t watch Heroes Isaac draws/paints/sketches in a comic book / manga style.
I know that there are just some people who have a natural aptitude for it but I have never really tried to draw anything and want to get started on the basics and see if I am any good. My grandfather was a very talented artist; maybe I have some of his talent? I would just like to give it a go.
Does anyone know of any good books (or if you live in Surrey, UK do you know of any good local courses)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

why would you choose to write about him?

Can you run ordinary paint from a craft store through an air brush gun or do you need to buy the real deal airbrush paints?

I am a 24 y/o stay at home mom with a dream of being a well known artist. I have a small start in painting sets and minor selling. What I want to know is how to better price my work and how to better sell my art. I do personalized peices and try to sell ones that I already have done. I don't have it in my budget to advertise, I rely on mostly word of mouth. I am not good at marketing or anything and need help! If you have any advice please tell!

I really like grafitti and I think it would be cool to get my bedroom walls done in grafitti. But I have no idea how to go about it. Does anybody know where I can get someone to come in and do it for me and about how much it would cost.
