Summary:

"Not all artists depend on their artwork to make a living. Beyond "Don't Quit Your Day Job" by Christina Tran offers myriad possibility models for making art and doing comics within capitalistic frameworks. The zine guides artists in the areas they should consider when making the nerve-racking decision about whether to make the leap to quit and pursue art full-time. Christina's zine is a frank and easy-to-read guide for big dreams and tough decisions. Honest yet encouraging, it's here for you."-- from https://www.radiatorcomics.com/shop/uncategorized/beyond-dont-quit-your-day-job/, accessed 20240514.
