The Year of an Artist

On the heels of his well received first book Baloney Express, Garnett dives into his second project with reckless abandon, documenting the trials and tribulations of a professional fine artist, the inner mechanisms of Garnett's brain and heart spilled on paper as he navigates his fine art studio through another brutal year in post-market crash USA. Here is 'An Armchair Artist Guide' for all who are interested in observing a wild artist in his natural habitat, living in the wilderness of his studios amidst normal people society, surviving off the land of art. This is an Al-Anon type book for the loved ones of artists to get a feeling for just what it's like to make one's living in this blood sport; the day in and day out grind, the highs and lows of art shows, sales, missed opportunities, creative successes. Garnett provides his readers with an intimate peak into the world of a solitary artist's functioning studio, a book that fellow artists, art professionals and art students will gravitate towards, pick up, sniff, investigate and come to realize that here is one of their own bleeding for the honorable cause of art.
