I keep getting asked for info, so I made this post. I hope this helps;)

www.artdeadline.com - Best resource I have found for aspiring/professional artists. Chock full of information on art shows, competitions, grants, call for submissions, art jobs, art news, and on and on... Costs about $20/year, but well worth it.

www.zapplication.org - If you are like me, then organization is not your strongest suit. This website makes it easy to research, apply, pay, and await art shows and fairs across the US. Best off, its free;)

www.aswexpress.com - one stop shopping for 2-D artist supplies. Great prices, great selection, and free shipping.

www.pkgraphics.com - Need business cards? Go here. 5000 double-sided business cards for around $100. Email your images and the next day they ship out to your doorstep. Super cheap!

www.craigslist.org - never underestimate the things that people need or want. This site occasionally has 'gems' of opportunity. Keep your eyes out for commissions, art shows, or gallery opportunities.

I just found this website called www.emptyeasel.com. It's got some interesting info for the business minded artist


If I think of anything else, I'll tack it on later. Good luck!

If you know any others to share, please leave a comment;)

www.Artbusinessnews.com - I love these people. They have their fingers on the pulse of the commercial arts and also great news on the brightest art stars as well as the little ones like me:)
