Hey Scott, hope you can answer this one. For someone who is new to art, lives in a very small town and with limited funds what would you suggest doing to make connections with the right people? Or even acquiring a mentor, as some artists have mentioned having a mentor along their way. It seems like conventions are the best way, however even knowing that I’m not sure how to go about that. Do you take your portfolio and share with pros? Or just talk? Thanks ahead of time!
