The Rogue Artist Series Books

My books are an undisciplined, story-centric, off-beat, and honest approach to demystifying what it takes to become a full-time artist. It is designed to help you navigate the cluster fudge that is the art world. A decade ago, there was no guidebook to lead me away from the overcrowded and overly pompous art market toward success. These books are all about blazing your trail and creating your career as an artist instead of waiting around to be discovered.

This book is the best artist book I’ve read in a very long time. Rafi Perez has a wonderful writing style…very warm and friendly, open and honest…like your best friend talking with you over lunch in your backyard. He’s encouraging and insightful, and he “gets” his audience. The information he provides is outstanding, and I […]

Rafi is a brilliant mind. His words are full of character, love, respect, and he truly cares about human beings. I enjoyed reading this book because it was an empowering book packed full of helpful information from his personal experiences. Most of Rafi’s experience and knowledge was very relatable.It helped me believe in myself a […]

At 65, being an old fart artist (a Fartist?) – I rarely purchase books anymore about being an artist because I figure if I don’t have a handle on it by now maybe I should look for other work. Rafi’s book was a surprising and refreshing exception to my line of thinking. It was delivered […]

The book is chock full of honest and open-reflections by Rafi on his, and his wife Klee’s, art careers. I read the book (first read) last night and into this morning. I am going back into sections that I want to consider more deeply and carefully, this morning. Yeah, it’s that good. I think it’s […]

Books like this are extremely important. Artists with authority rarely give out any real information. I can only think of a couple of other artists that have produced anything of value when it comes to selling art or getting an art career up and going. Be very careful when selecting books that claim to teach […]

― Chad M.

I’ve been a fan of Rafi for about a year now, so this is review is terribly biased. Love the point of view of a fellow artist who is blunt and serious and sassy and kindhearted. It all shines through.The only thing I didn’t like was something the artist/author had no control over. I’ve listened […]

― Honey Morrison

This book is loaded with encouragement and advice on adjusting the mindset to be a successful (and happy) artist.
