GM Artists! Sharing some reflections I remind myself of and actually trying to put into action every day! How to "Work" as an Artist Without Losing Your Mind (or Dignity) 1. Stay Inquisitive: The World is Your Muse Your next masterpiece might be hiding in plain sight —or in that weird shadow on the ceiling. Keep those eyes wide open and question everything. 2. Create Consistently: Studio Time is Sacred Whether it's a corner of your living room or a fancy studio with great lighting, treat your creative space like holy ground. Clock in, create magic, and resist the urge to rearrange your art supplies (again). 3. Guard Your Time Like a Hawk You can’t make great art if you're constantly distracted by cat videos or existential dread. Schedule your creativity and protect it fiercely, like it’s the last slice of pizza.

8. Be Cool, Don’t Be That Artist... Diva attitudes? Hard pass. The art world is small, so stay kind, humble, and professional —even when you want to scream into the void. 9. Watch Out for ‘Too Good to Be True’ Deals If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Silver-tongued dream sellers tend to be scammers. Stay skeptical and protect your hustle. 10. Find Your Niche and Slay It When you discover what sets your soul on fire, dive deep into it until you’re the absolute best at it. Then, just keep slaying. 11. Embrace Failure as Growth Every misstep is a stepping stone to mastery. Treat setbacks as valuable lessons that help you learn and evolve.

12. Stay Inspired Fill your world with art and artists that spark your creativity. Visit galleries, attend shows, and dive into new ideas to keep your creative fire burning. 13. Prioritize Self-Care Your mental and emotional well-being are vital to your creativity. Make time for rest, reflection, and rejuvenation to fuel your artistic journey. Do you have any reflections that could help artists, or feedback on these points? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
