You'd just love to kiss the desk job g'bye and paint for a living, right? You're gonna need a plan, Picasso. Pay a visit to Paul Dorrell, who has penned a guidebook for artists called Living the Artist's Life. Part memoir and part how-to, Dorrell's book coaches readers on how to be media-savvy, deal with rejection, show publicly and find that non-shark agent (good luck with that one). We suggest submitting your two weeks' notice after you've heard Dorrell speak at 7 p.m. Barnes & Noble, 3003 West Holcombe. For information, call 713-349-0050 or visit www.livingtheartistslife.com.
