THE BUSINESS SIDE
I see lots of references for study and painting stuff, but not a lot to do with the business side of art, which needs attention too. Perhaps I will just keep extending this post with more resources. These are more focused on insights into setting up as a business, than links to companies...you can and should do that research on your own.

Graphic Artist's Guild Handbook The handbook to own apparently. Have to pay for it. Pricing, contracts, licencing, lists etc I haven't got this yet, but I've heard it is a great resource.
