This week’s episode features Michigan based artist Austin Fabinski. Austin is my go-getter in the Academy since joining almost 2 years ago. He’s always up for a challenge and trying anything and everything to make this art career thing work. From books to art prints, shows, and going viral on TikTok, he’s done it all. I think this is a great look at the effort needed to go full time and I hope it inspires you to give a little extra this week. It all adds up. Let me know what you think of this week’s episode with Austin Fabinski. https://www.instagram.com/austinfabinskiart/ www.ArtistAcademy.co

195. Quit Your Day Job with Austin Fabinski

This is episode number 3 of the student spotlight series where every Monday I interview one of my amazing Artist Academy Advanced students to get to know them better, give them direct advice on their art business, and so I can get feedback on how to be a better teacher. This week I’m interviewing Austin Fabinski. Austin is a former elementary art teacher turned full time artist still in the very beginning of his art career. It’s so exciting when my students are in the very very beginning because everything is new and exciting to them. I’ll get messages or DM’s from students saying, “I made my first sale!” or, “I just got my first print order in!” and we celebrate together because every milestone is such an accomplishment especially in the beginning. There’s a lot to do like set up a website, file for an LLC, get your social media game strong, all the things that come with being a full time artist that nobody talks about. Austin is an amazing example of someone who has come into the group and hit the ground running. He is painting literally every day! Not just that, he’s trying his hand a designing t-shirts, started an art featuring account, does art lessons, and is trying everything in order to figure this whole crazy selfmade art career out. I feel really lucky to have attracted someone like Austin into our Advanced group because just his presence motivates others and his encouraging attitude really adds to the overall momentum of the group.

85. Student Spotlight- Austin Fabinski

It was fun getting to know Austin Fabinski! He was so honest and open about the challenges he’s faced as an art teacher and an artist - never enough time or money, a learning disability that made school difficult, and lack of business knowledge. Austin faced those head-on and took a leap to pursue his dream of being an artist. Austin Fabinski is an artist from the Detroit Metropolitan Area in Michigan. He earned his BA from Oakland University with a K-12 Art Education certification. He has been teaching art to all ages for the past 5 years. In 2019 he quit full-time teaching to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a full-time artist. He currently teaches private and small group art lessons and spends most days in the studio painting. His work is focused on animals. They are where he finds the most joy. Austin works primarily in acrylic and watercolor, as these media allow him to paint quickly. He offers his original work along with prints and commissions. When Austin is not teaching or painting, he spends time at the gym, walking his dogs, on the lake, or just hanging with friends and family. I love how open he was about working multiple jobs just to stay afloat and the frustration of earning more as a part time server than a full-time teacher. Ugh. I also keep hearing from artists I speak to and from other podcasts I listen to, how helpful mentors and coaches can be. I’m so glad Austin’s mentor in business has helped him with the shift to full-time artist and I hope he hangs in there through this pandemic. If you’re in the market for layered animal paintings, pet portraits, or fun color theory shirts, go support Austin!
