“The art world has rules. This book shows you how to break them and build a career on your own terms.”
Most art books focus on how to paint a better tree or how to write a formal artist statement that sounds like a college thesis. This isn’t one of those books. The Rogue Artist’s Survival Guide is the field manual for the creative who refuses to fit into a box. It’s for the artist who wants to make a living, find their audience, and stay inspired without selling out or following a stuffy, outdated blueprint.
Rafi Perez pulls back the curtain on the “business” of being an artist, delivering a no-BS guide to surviving the modern creative landscape. Whether you are just starting out in your studio or you’ve been at it for years and feel stuck, this guide provides the mental tools and “rogue” strategies you need to keep your fire burning and your business growing.
What’s Inside the Survival Guide:
- The Mental Game: How to beat the “Starving Artist” programming and develop the mindset of a successful, empowered creator.
- Finding Your Tribe: Forget “networking” in the traditional sense; learn how to find and connect with the people who actually love and buy your work.
- Defining Your Own Success: Practical advice on setting goals that align with your lifestyle, not someone else’s definition of “making it.”
- Authentic Marketing: How to talk about your work and share your story in a way that feels natural and honest, rather than “salesy.”
- The Rogue Philosophy: A collection of insights on why being an outsider is actually your greatest competitive advantage in the art world.
Is This Guide for You?
- The Rebel Creator: If you’ve always felt like an outsider and want to know how to turn that into your brand.
- The Practical Artist: If you’re tired of “fluff” and want real-world insights into the ups and downs of an art career.
- The Self-Taught Visionary: If you didn’t go to art school (or you did and hated it) and want to find your own path.
- The Rafi and Klee Community: If you want a deeper dive into the “Rogue” philosophy shared on the YouTube channel and podcast.
It’s Time to Stop Asking for Permission.
You don’t need a gallery to validate you. You don’t need a degree to be an artist. All you need is your unique voice and the grit to keep going. The Rogue Artist’s Survival Guide is here to make sure you don’t just survive—you thrive.

Rafi And Klee StudiosReading the first few pages and love it. Thanks for writing it. I really needed to hear what you have to say. I am starting to do art midlife, after being laid off and not finding work. Have yet to sell, or put any up for sale. I am trying many things to find what I like.
