Artists: 👇🏽THIS is the crux of a serious art practice💫 1. entertain yourself 2. have fun 3. experiment 4. learn from the outcome 5. develop further one day, i took this pic of a little note in my tutor’s drawer during masters of fine art practice programme. i wasn’t supposed to see this little recipe for success but i did 🤌🏽then i printed it & stuck it on a wall in my studio (plant pot to be precise 🥹) 🌻these principles are foundational for any artist seeking to create meaningful, evolving works. otherwise, you become a desperate try hard and it shows in your art! so pay attention 🧠 1. 🌟keep your creative process engaging. when you create art that interests you, it sustains your motivation & passion. 2. ❤️‍🔥art should bring joy. the process of creation is as important as the end product, & this helps maintain a healthy relationship with your practice. (process matters) 3. 🧪push boundaries, try new techniques, & explore different ideas. experimentation leads to innovation + keeps your work evolving. (curiosity) 4. ✊🏽every piece of art, successful or not, is an opportunity to learn. understanding what works & what doesn't is key to growth. (critical rigour) 5. 👑use your experiences & insights to refine your skills & ideas. continuous development is essential for long-term artistic growth. 👇🏽📍book mark it & ♻️share w your peers. 🌻be the change you wish to see

artists, unless you make art for yourself or for a higher purpose you’ll always be dissatisfied with your path. sales are important for self-sustainability, however, the progression in your art has very different metrics than sales!

what makes your heart throb 🫀for the art you see, pine after, and eventually collect ? i know my reasons but i wanna hear yours ! 🤗

Dear Collectors, if you are not making an effort to discover & collect from contemporary artists with 🎨solid art trajectories 🎨been here for years 🎨long-time bridging trad 🖼️+digital 🎨are multi-chain for years! instead if you go chasing noise & then cry onus is on you!

looking through my sketchbook, working out ways to manifest works i dreamt of a decade ago but had no capacity to realise them. they were much bigger than me; more or less a decade ahead of their time! ⏰ time to manifest🧲🚀 gm to literally everyone with True Grit & Vision 🤝
