Graphic designers are taught to create, not sell—and that’s exactly why so many talented designers stay broke. The harsh reality? Talent alone won’t make you successful.

The industry is full of insanely skilled designers who struggle to make ends meet while less talented ones cash in—because they get it: design is a business.

And no one understood that better than Andy Warhol.

Warhol didn’t just create art—he built a brand, scaled his work, and turned creativity into cold, hard cash (while actually enjoying the ride). While traditional artists clung to their so-called “purity,” Warhol mass-produced art in his legendary Factory, treating his career like an enterprise. And guess what? It worked.

In this episode of The Angry Designer, we tear into:

The 4 Warhol strategies designers can steal to scale, market, and sell better
Why branding yourself is just as important as the work you create
The myth of originality—and why Warhol proved it doesn’t matter

It’s time to stop thinking like a starving artist and start thinking like a creative entrepreneur. If you’re sick of being overlooked while mediocre designers make bank, this is the episode for you.

Hit play and start building your Warhol-level empire.
