Hi all,

I've been a silent reader for some time and have found this site to be a great resource. My hope is to get your advice on the pros/cons of signing up with a portrait agency - is it a good career move, how to decide which is the best fit, etc.

I think I have what it takes to be attractive to them. Assuming that, I'm expecting that what's in it for the artist is a steady amount of work and healthy income.

Is that accurate? Any opinions, actual figures or stories to relay would be helpful. I am located in the twin cities of Minnesota and work in oil and watercolor.

Thanks everyone.
