It's time to rebel against the stereotype of the starving, undervalued artist. It's bullshit. Let's ride together, empowered. we need safe spaces of creative agency, vision, support, and a shit ton of honesty (and a few jokes) as we navigate this PROFESSIONAL (sometimes hilarious) artist life.
That's what you'll find here.
we're starting a rebellion. grab your sword & ride with us.
Hey rebel,
We want to hand you a sword that slashes through the fear, overwhelm, procrastination, and self doubt on this artist journey.
We want you to feel ready for this fight to be seen and celebrated in your craft.
We want you to know that you and your artistry matters and we are riding alongside you.
The journey may not always be certain, the path may often get messy, (we've fallen off a horse or two) but you’ve got this. So gear up. Grab your paints, clay, notebook, laptop (whatever your big artist heart desires) and join us.
