NEW BOOK! ART PIMP: Inside the Cutthroat World of PR

MANHATTAN, N.Y. - April 30, 2013 - PRLog -- ART PIMP is a minimalist manifesto for the disenfranchised lay-offs among us. It preaches jailbreak. Read it and you’ll discover why desperation gets things done, why you should unsubscribe, friend your mentors, look for loopholes, cop an attitude and work for free. Let the uptown crowd stuff themselves into cubicles. This is a new playbook for modern age entrepreneurs who never want to have a boss again or give into the old Flim Flam. Traditional media is dying. So how do you get the goods across today when people aren’t buying? Learn how to be more industrious, how to establish brands with celebrity craftsmanship, and a slew of revolutionary concepts that will both rouse and rally you. The perfect blueprint for anyone who’s ready to get their hands dirty: Miserable day jobbers, fortune-hunters, media soldiers, recent grad’s, lay-off victims and dreamers who refuse to take no for an answer.

MODERN RELATIONS
For more than 30 years, I have dedicated myself to the visual language of shill earning my stripes as a foot soldier under industry mavericks. As a grunt, part of my job was to get visible ink for the virtually un-ink-able. That rhythmless tap dancer, the milquetoast actor, the self-proclaimed Bar-mitzvah photographer all whom you have read about in glowing terms and find yourself wondering why?

You can thank pimps like me.

But even the most artistic pimp can't turn tricks fast enough to satiate today's media ravenous. The countless brands, businesses and brothers who pay top dollar for the luxury of promotion.

Art Pimp is my tall tale. A statement on the dark and desperate need to see our names in print. Personal war stories are laid bare in the gossip-slung world of those who buy and sell. Not a superficial tell-all. More like a prepared state of readiness for you tenderfoots on patrol.
