Open Brainstorms

an artist has no schedule, he has only deadlines

Wrangling artists=nailing Jell-O to a tree. It is up to you to determine what wastes your artist's time, unfortunately. Lotta work on your part, but Quick Bucks can't be part of the plan. Through thorough BG and goal-setting w/ your client, you "brand", you market shamelessly and with focused intent. If this sounds like gibberish, then a rethinking of your professional commitment to this process, and your relationship with the artist needs some hard evaluation. There are zero shortcuts to this.
