Something I wish more artists understood:

your smaller works aren’t “less important.”

They’re often the entry point into your entire market.

Many serious collectors start small—not because they have to, but because they’re learning your work.

Clowns Don’t Cry Easy

Hi everyone, today I want to reflect on something that has been on my mind for a while, the way we deal with emotions and how we learn to express them. The title of this post, "Clowns Don’t Cry Easy," comes from a piece of digital art I made of a quiet clown surrounded by floating spheres. The image has a surreal feel to it, but what it represents for me goes beyond the design itself. It reflects years of struggling with how to show emotions openly, and how that journey has shifted over […]

Drowning

I wanted to take some time to talk about a topic that comes up often for many creative people: the feeling of being overwhelmed and underappreciated in the work we do. Anyone who has tried to build a career around their art or creative projects has likely experienced this. The reality is that while creating can be incredibly rewarding, it also brings challenges that are easy to overlook from the outside. Running any type of creative business takes time, energy, and persistence. There are […]

Speaking of craft fairs and politics ...

Can you imagine, setting up your booth to sell art or quilts or whatever, then getting a surprise pepper spray bath and potentially being abducted/assaulted by lawless armed goons? The nice neighbor who helped you with your tent gets dragged off. Your product reeks of chemicals - ruined. Your little business and hopes for profit that day - crushed. Customers avoid the markets.

Insane. It could happen anywhere.

This guy's AI views align with mine. I think true handmade art in various forms will become more attractive in contrast to AI. There will always be customers for cheaper mass manufactured product, but it is a race to the bottom that AI gen slop will win. It isn't a market/customer worth competing over anymore.

Artists would be smart to push their creativity toward unique or small batch product. It's a handmade renaissance, potentially. #arttalk #artbusiness #handmade
