"The topic of business for artists is kind of a complicated one," illustrator Anita Kunz tells us in our new series Art, Death & Taxes. "I think that most artists think that it's an incredibly boring subject until they get ripped off or until someone doesn't pay them. Then suddenly it becomes interesting."

Having come out of art school without having taken a business class and moving from feeling "woefully unprepared" to building a career as an artist, Kunz now strives to pass along the lessons she learned to a younger generation of artists. In particular, she stresses the importance and difficulty of pricing your work — a challenge that has shifted throughout her career but remains difficult.
