Records and Taxes
Artists should have a journal if not already a computer where they can put down and record tr heir work. Artist in the beginning may not have a lot to remember, but as you become more accomplished you will find it very important and useful in organizing your art information. This is a must in your own business to put down all works and when sold list the name and address of the buyer for later you may need to borrow your pieces for a gallery. This on file will also come in handy for a resume, your resume needs to be updated frequently. Also you will need to keep record of where your work has been or if you have received any awards, and reviews. Recording information as well as keeping a separate bank account for your business will save you valuable time away from your work and from getting in trouble with the IRS.
