@@Ngoziscreativity 🥹Truly appreciate your comment. We definitely do need the reassurance and know that it’s possible. If there’s anything you want me to go into depth let me know and I’ll make a video about it 🙏🏾🫶🏾
Thank you for keeping it real. You’re right…instead of breaking our backs for corporations that don’t care about us we might as well put that energy into our own dreams. ✊🏼
Thank you for sharing your story. I haven’t quit because I feel stuck 😢 I also don’t know how to manage multiple streams and stay sane at the same time.
@Omiyinka…And if you have an idea of 1 income stream you’d like to do, start it slowly on the weekends and in your spare time, pace yourself. Don’t get overwhelmed with multiple streams in the beginning. Like she said, you can do it.😊
Tarra, I'm so, so grateful to have come across your channel! Thank you for doing what you do. This is incredibly encouraging for someone who wants exactly this kind of life. I dropped my pencils and brushes for such a long time to pursue education and jobs that I always knew I don't want to keep for the rest of my life, just to pay the bills and keep my family happy. I will return to practice art again, even though my hands feel rusty by now. In time, I really want to create art for a living. Bless you, and again, thank you! 💖
New subscriber here. Thank you for your words. I’m tired of not creating! I’m grateful for the jobs that I’ve had. But it’s time to do what God put me on this life to do. Thank you again. God bless you.

thank you for keeping it real as it is. I love be a full time artist, but I also had to learn that it actually is a business - which comes with responsibilities - from health insurance to tax statements - In the moment I have for 2 weeks a student in 9th grade in my studio, (its a program they do in schools in Germany so kids can see which kind of job they want to do in there future - so they are for 2 weeks in a company office and such - she came to me and ask me if she can see how an artist day to day is) she actually is quite stunned that you have a hole "office part" to run aswell, from writing offers, to confirmation for commissions, preparing pick ups, accounting etc. - but I did not blown it for her, I just keep it real for her, and she still wants to follow her passion and be an artist.
Thanks for sharing your story. It is great to see artists succeed and it gives hope to so many people who would like to do the same. I am also very interested in your guide 😊
@@adriennbaris Thank you for watching! I think it’s important to hear from different artists. I want to be as transparent as possible and let aspiring artists know that it takes a lot of work but it’s possible. Thank you for your interest ☺️ The link is in the description when you’re ready ✨
Thank you for sharing this video Tarra! It's been challenging to balance between working at my day and working on my business at the same time. But hopefully, I can get to the point where I can become a full-time artist. 😀
@@occipiccoart Thank you for watching! I completely understand. It’s not easy but you will get there. It takes patience, discipline, self-trust and faith. Trust the process and don’t be afraid to take that leap when the time is right☺️✨
I graduated with a BFA in Studio Art in 2012, and (shamefully) haven't done a thing but dable in art since. I have been thinking about pursuing art again and finding a way to make it my full-time job for years but I always found reasons to put it off (work, family, doubt, etc). We just bought a house and I have claimed one of the spare rooms next to the garage as my own. I want to make it my studio/study/office. Please keep sharing!
@@meredithborie Thank you for sharing! You should definitely turn one of the spare rooms into your studio. I didn’t go to art school but from my understanding the business side isn’t taught in art school so it’s hard when you have the skills but don’t know how to start. If you do decide to turn one of the spare rooms into a studio, maybe you can make a vlog about it as well.
@@tarralu No, in my 4 years of study not one class or workshop was available to teach us how to be independent artists. The "business" skills I have are from helping my partners start a business from scratch and maintain for the last 5 years. I'm hoping to apply my knowledge from that experience to my own art business.
I can relate to this. I’ve been working on my craft as a side hustle and currently saving up money so that I can make my exit. Definitely purchasing the guide so that I can be aware of what’s needed before I take the leap.
@@MagicalCreationsDisneyArt Thank you ☺️ It is a hard decision to make and everyone’s situation is different but it’s possible. The more information you have the easier it gets. ✨
When I'm not making money with art when I'm a full time artist, I have a hard time sleeping, that's why I just got a part time job. Being a full time artist is hard :-(. I've spent more money on art supplies than actually making an income :-(.
@@mehrnazmoussavi It is hard that’s why I firmly believe in diversifying your income. I know people who try to shame artists for teaching or doing something else besides selling painting and I think that’s wrong and unfair. However, I also don’t think we should suffer from working a soul-crushing 9-5 job.
@@rsbyoutube4588 This is what scares most people so it’s normal. If you’re able to save up enough for 6 months of expenses, I would start there and make a plan.
I am a single mother in a soul sucking job - having to go into a depressing office (with the horrendous fluorescent light) twice a week. This video was inspiring- I don’t have the time and energy to build my portfolio so yes it definitely feels like a trap.
@@EnchantedRealm888 I’m glad this video inspired you. I pray that you find something more enjoyable so that you can have the energy to build your portfolio and do what you love 🫶🏾
*YOU ARE SO REAL!* And I really appreciate that! 🙏🏾 I found this video at the right time! Every single word you said in this video resonated with my soul! I am currently experiencing this same exact dilemma and it's driving me nuts! I want to quit my 9-5 wfh job so badly and become my own boss, because this 9-5 life is not for me. It *does not* spark joy. It's too mentally and emotionally draining. Why am I working hard to make someone else rich when I can work just as hard to make myself rich and make my own dreams come true? I have hoarded so many creative references and I have pages and pages of ideas written down, but my biggest struggle is consistency, motivation and the little voice in my head that tells me that I can't do it. I have tried so many times to combat these challenges, but I keep failing at every turn, and not having anyone in my corner to help guide and support me just makes me feel alone. I am so glad that I *FINALLY* found someone out there that speaks from the heart and soul and is 1000% transparent in sharing their journey. I ran to the description to purchase your guidebook. I can't wait to start my own artist journey! 🙌🏾
@@b1njjj95 Awwww so glad this video found you! 🥹💕✨I think it’s important to be transparent and honest about what it takes to do this full time. Of course we do it for joy but we have to think business if you want to do it full time. I used to have notebooks full of ideas (still do) and that’s a sign that you can create something of your own. That’s your intellectual property and yes, you can become your own boss. It’s scary, there’s lots of ups and downs financially, and you have to make sacrifices but it’s worth it. Thank you for purchasing the guide. Feel free to reach out via email or DM if you feel like you need additional support. Many blessings on your journey 🙏🏾🫶🏾
I am interested in purchasing your book ,but would like to know if it has information on the technical side of things like building a website, email list etc.
@@freebird_spiritualguidance5547 Great question! Parts of the guide does go into the technical side. However, it’s more comprehensive and essentially a step-by-step guide that assists you in building a sustainable art business. If you have more questions, feel free to send me a message over on Instagram or email me and I can assist you better there (links are in the bio).
@@solarydays Hi there! I’ve been out of Corporate America for almost 10yrs and have been teaching online, selling my art, and doing vending shows throughout that time. I’m not sure if you’re new to my channel, but I’ve been transparent about these things since I started my RUclips channel. As far as the entertainment industry (and many other industries) being down and professionals losing their jobs left and right, I absolutely agree with you. That’s one of the reasons why I pivoted out of the “rat race” and decided to become an entrepreneur. I’ve also been very vocal about having multiple streams of income. Also, I’ve been scammed a few times by ppl online, so I totally understand your concerns. But I can assure you that I value integrity and part of my purpose is to help women like me who are mothers, who work from home, who want to sell art, who want to start RUclips channels, and who just are trying to make a way for themselves during these trying times. I wish you the best.
I am thrilled that RUclips showed me your channel! I literally just started my channel two days ago in hopes of being where you are someday. This video was so encouraging (and calming). I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos. 🥰
Omg! It's like your talking about me, I'm going through same think and getting sick on Thursdays in a row, but youmust be a good artist I'm not, happy for you!❤
@@mixedupmargie I remember those days…I didn’t consider myself a good artist when I quit 😅 Years later and I’m still developing my style. I will say it’s now that I’ve found my voice and owning it. The first step is knowing that you can do it whatever stage you’re in. There’s always room for growth ❤️
Greetings…Sistar💫this message you have presented has arrived to me in such a manner that is absolutely Divinely appointed. It supports my decision to do the same for myself that I have been considering and contemplating for a good moment now. Although now I feel aligned with what I have been ruminating over. I choose my passion! Gratitude for the nudge. Ohhh yeah girl you have a wonderfull look and you are so beautifull. Have you ever done or considered doing some modeling! You could easily land some awesome black hair and beauty product add and fashion add. Anyhow I say to you again, Gratitude and best of wishes, success and fulfillment✨🙏🏾✨
@@MarkWallace-v7n Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad this video found you and gave you the confirmation you needed. I used to model when I was a toddler 😆 but I never considered it as an adult. You just gave me something to think about so thank you 🙏🏾 ✨And good luck on your journey.
@@CedricWilliamsFineArt I'm excited for you. Time management and being organized is super important especially when you're juggling a 9-5. You have to make a lot of sacrifices esp. in the beginning stages. If your 9-5 isn't soul-crushing, my advice is to treat it as your business partner where it's helping you fund your art business and get the operation going. Good luck on your journey!
New scribe! 27 year Graphic Designer....love my career....but its now feeling like a job.....Just sold my first painting 30x40.....and picked up 3 more commissions....starting to think I can do the same Tarra.....
Thank you for subscribing. Alright now! Congratulations on your first sale and the commissions! Graphic design gives you an edge in this field so definitely lean on it. You can definitely do the same. Just make sure you're building relationships and diversifying your income. You got this!
@@tarralu Yesss indeed!!! Yes I have been drawing comics all my life, I am a Senior Designer for a Gaming Company in Las Vegas. My daughter is AMAZING, better than me, even though she doesnt realize it yet....but she is...fam I turned my 2nd living room into a studio....soon as I get off work, Im smashin to the crib.....have a note book full of projects....if only I had a clone to send to the 9-5!! Thank you for the words, again will be back AND sharing!! Peace Love and Art!
I have no social life. I guess that’s fine. I’m at a dead end graphics job with a micromanaging arrogant boss. And I want to quit and be a full time artist as well. Everything you have said in the 1st 4 minutes is me. I will watch the rest and I hope there is a small bright light. I’m by myself and I’m painting and doing graphics. Combining the two and even started KDP. But it’s just starting and no real catches yet. My art has sold but I need to go full time. And I can’t. I’m scared to. 😫
@@justathought7221 🫶🏾 The bright light is the fact that your art has sold, you know how to do graphics (huge skill in this economy), and you started KDP. Starting is just the beginning. Once you release the fear and see it for what it is you will fly. Feel free to reach out to me via email or IG. I would love to see your work 💗✨
Thank you so much for your like. I’m thinking about moving out of the state and to a larger city with a bigger artist community. I’m right now just waiting on a part time position there to reply to me. And then I quit and move and just start new. And focus on the art. And just find a tribe. I’m on Instagram and I’m just seeing artist. Which is not really a tribe. Nice kind people. But artist. 😕 so anyway… im following you and thank you for the wonderful advice. I will check out your other videos. Thank you again 🙏🏼😇
wonderful testimony, The big problem is we are brainwashed from childhood, make lots of money you will be happy, (lawyer, doctor) the truth is be what God intended for you to be not what this world wants you to be. God gives us the desires of our hearts, but if the desire is ignored you are just surviving. The lord will make a way where there is no way. let God (Jesus) be your CEO. his small voice will be a loud testimony in your life. trust in him, faith without works is dead. God bless.
@@suzanzaman7942 ☝🏾You’re absolutely right💯 One thing I’ve realized is when you step out on faith and do what you’re intended and designed to do…money/resources will flow to you in unexpected ways. It’s an unconventional path for sure and this lifestyle is not the typical 9-5 model and it’s scary sometimes but when you work on that fear and start tapping in…it’s like you’re living in a different world.
And the video is misleading... I am still waiting for how did it happened, is no different than what everyones says. Please,, say how. What exactly you had to do. How did you manage scheduling, finances, selling your art, diversifying your income, taking car of yourself, expanding your knowledge! Please, because saying I took care of myself means nothing, is so subjective. For one person that can look like letting go of worry and taking substances to another calling loved ones.
Jajaja nope I must disagree. Over 1 year and have not made enough money to even buy food. The depression has been more because of the fear of not having where to live than being able to expressed my art. So yeah. The economy is a real thing.

@@MyCozyAbode Thank you so much ❤️
I have no social life. I guess that’s fine. I’m at a dead end graphics job with a micromanaging arrogant boss. And I want to quit and be a full time artist as well. Everything you have said in the 1st 4 minutes is me. I will watch the rest and I hope there is a small bright light. I’m by myself and I’m painting and doing graphics. Combining the two and even started KDP. But it’s just starting and no real catches yet. My art has sold but I need to go full time. And I can’t. I’m scared to. 😫
@@justathought7221 🫶🏾 The bright light is the fact that your art has sold, you know how to do graphics (huge skill in this economy), and you started KDP. Starting is just the beginning. Once you release the fear and see it for what it is you will fly. Feel free to reach out to me via email or IG. I would love to see your work 💗✨
Thank you so much for your like. I’m thinking about moving out of the state and to a larger city with a bigger artist community. I’m right now just waiting on a part time position there to reply to me. And then I quit and move and just start new. And focus on the art. And just find a tribe. I’m on Instagram and I’m just seeing artist. Which is not really a tribe. Nice kind people. But artist. 😕 so anyway… im following you and thank you for the wonderful advice. I will check out your other videos. Thank you again 🙏🏼😇
@@tarraluI just saw this message. I would love to email.
❤
@@AnArtistJourney77 It’s good to see you here ❤️
The system is made to drain us out that is why I left and when ppl tell me to get a job i tell them take a hike lol
I agree!
@@tarralu nice video
@@GRINDETHIKSMIXTAPESHOW Thank you so much!
How do you promote your work?
@@Dee.SixNine I made a video detailing how I promote my artwork. You can watch it here ruclips.net/video/RBNQKrCYN6c/видео.htmlsi=bpcKg_fO4EKDYGvQ
wonderful testimony, The big problem is we are brainwashed from childhood, make lots of money you will be happy, (lawyer, doctor) the truth is be what God intended for you to be not what this world wants you to be. God gives us the desires of our hearts, but if the desire is ignored you are just surviving. The lord will make a way where there is no way. let God (Jesus) be your CEO. his small voice will be a loud testimony in your life. trust in him, faith without works is dead. God bless.
@@suzanzaman7942 ☝🏾You’re absolutely right💯 One thing I’ve realized is when you step out on faith and do what you’re intended and designed to do…money/resources will flow to you in unexpected ways. It’s an unconventional path for sure and this lifestyle is not the typical 9-5 model and it’s scary sometimes but when you work on that fear and start tapping in…it’s like you’re living in a different world.
I tried it and now I'm just struggle to pay the bills. My dream is just garbage. So not everyone can be a full time artist.
@@KimJImagery I’m sorry to hear that ❤️. I don’t know your story/experience but I’m sure your dream isn’t garbage.
@@tarralu It is if I can't get clients or a job in it, And yes I do work hard but it got me no where.

And the video is misleading... I am still waiting for how did it happened, is no different than what everyones says. Please,, say how. What exactly you had to do. How did you manage scheduling, finances, selling your art, diversifying your income, taking car of yourself, expanding your knowledge! Please, because saying I took care of myself means nothing, is so subjective. For one person that can look like letting go of worry and taking substances to another calling loved ones.
Jajaja nope I must disagree. Over 1 year and have not made enough money to even buy food. The depression has been more because of the fear of not having where to live than being able to expressed my art. So yeah. The economy is a real thing.
I enjoyed this content a great deal. You now have a new subscriber
@@TheAllisonLab Thank you! I’m glad it resonated with you ❤️
