There is no getting around the business of art, according to Arsham, so you might as well master it. 'The game is there, ' he writes. 'Either you play it or it plays you.' Wise up, reader. --New York Times

Inspiration is for amateurs. I'm a professional artist: I wake up every day and go to work.

This is the mindset that transformed Daniel Arsham from a student scraping by in his Brooklyn studio into one of the most sought-after artists of his generation. In Future Relic, he breaks through the mystique of the art world and shows what it really takes to make it in any creative endeavor.

From a childhood in Miami working with his first camera in the wake of Hurricane Andrew's devastation, to formative student years at Cooper Union in New York, to collaborations with Merce Cunningham and Pharrell Williams, to designing for Christian Dior and the Cleveland Cavaliers: Arsham shares the stories that built him and his work to where they are today.

This isn't a romanticized memoir, it's a master class-a brutally honest and practical handbook for anyone pursuing an artistic career. As we follow his path through the highs and the lows, the breakthroughs and the rejections, we also learn the art of the grind: how to get a gallery, why you need a great lawyer, how to run a creative business, and why surrounding yourself with ambitious, successful people is non-negotiable.
