The David OReilly Lecture: Navigating Commercial Art
This is a talk about the nature of commercial art, it relates to all forms of commercial art production and is neither technical nor business oriented. David will discuss the particular dangers and frustrations that emerge from it as they pertain to the creative individual, and how this field can be understood and navigated by artists without destroying themselves.
