  • How You Can Become a Full-Time Artist (Without Quitting Your Day Job Yet)

    How You Can Become a Full-Time Artist (Without Quitting Your Day Job Yet)
    Jan 6 2026

    In this episode of The Professional Artist Podcast, contemporary sculptor Daniel Lai is featured by the Professional Artist Association (https://professionalartist.com/join), the world's fastest-growing global community for committed fine artists.

    Daniel is a Malaysian-born, self-taught artist based in St. Petersburg, Florida, best known for his narrative sculptures that combine books, clay, and metaphor. Through playful yet intellectually charged forms, his work examines the human experience and addresses social issues with clarity, curiosity, and depth.

    Transforming discarded and everyday materials into story-rich sculptures, Daniel has built an internationally recognized practice, earning major awards and cultivating a dedicated base of collectors drawn to the emotional and conceptual accessibility of his work.

    In this deep dive, Daniel shares the pivotal moments that shaped his artistic path—from finding his voice to sustaining a meaningful studio practice. He reflects on the importance of patience, long-term thinking, and relationship-building in developing a resilient art career.

    This episode offers thoughtful guidance for artists seeking to leverage their unique perspective, build authentic connections with collectors, and navigate the challenges of creating a sustainable art business rooted in purpose and storytelling.

    “You cannot deny who you truly are. I knew that if I were to follow the conventional path , get a nine to five job or teaching, it will eat up my soul..”

    — Daniel Lai

  • How You Can Make a Living as an Artist (Without a Gallery)

    How You Can Make a Living as an Artist (Without a Gallery)
    Dec 23 2025

    In this episode of The Professional Artist Podcast, contemporary artist David Palmer is featured by the Professional Artist Association (https://professionalartist.com/join), the world's fastest-growing global community for committed fine artists.

    David is a U.S.-based painter whose work blends the bold visual language of pop art with a refined classical sensibility. Drawing from dreams, childhood memories, nature, and contemporary culture, his paintings are known for their distressed surfaces - layers of color revealed through wear, evoking aged frescoes and weathered billboards.

    His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the U.S. and Europe and is held in numerous public and private collections. Before fully dedicating himself to painting, David built a successful career in digital effects, contributing to major films such as The Polar Express, Spider-Man 3, and Harry Potter… an experience that continues to inform his visual storytelling.

    In this deep dive, David shares how he transitioned into outdoor art fairs and learned to sell work directly to collectors. He breaks down the realities of booth presentation, audience engagement, and the mindset required to thrive outside the traditional gallery system.

    This episode offers practical insights for artists navigating hybrid career paths—balancing gallery representation with self-directed sales—while building lasting collector relationships through story-driven connection.

    “It doesn’t matter what you say; nobody cares. The consequences of not doing it and taking a chance are a lot worse than the consequences of doing it wrong.”

    — David Palmer
