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.

4. Sharpen Your Artistic Toolkit Breaking the rules is only cool when you actually know what the rules are. Nail the fundamentals first, then go ahead and reinvent the wheel—or turn it into a sculpture. 5. Find Your Voice: Talk About Your Art Like a Pro Your art might speak a thousand words, but sometimes you need a few well-chosen ones. Crafting the right words about your work will elevate your storytelling (and spare you from saying, “I dunno, it just is”). 6. Building Your Art Circle Networking doesn’t have to be a schmooze-fest. It’s about finding your creative tribe —the people who get you, your vision, and maybe even your passion for neon flamingos. 7. Know Your Scene: Your Artistic Neighborhood You can’t find your place if you don’t know the other players. Dive into your genre, find your people, and figure out where you fit —or how you stand out.
