Poor Artists

our book Poor Artists is out now in hardback, audiobook and ebook. It is a fictional quest through the real art world. Using dialogue from anonymous interviews we did with people across the industry, we ridicule a contemporary art world that has turned art into artworks, art schools into art universities, and creative expression into cut-throat competition πŸ‘Ή get it from an indie bookshop! or a big bookshop! or a library!

our BOOK COVER which has the title POOR ARTISTS on a bright pink background with an abstract digital painting of a lemon, featured on an artfully arranged pile of poor artist hard back books
