Is Social Media Making Your Art Bad??? Apr 05, 2023

Show notes

I’ve got a real problem with social media lately. I think it’s an echo chamber that is not feeding us with the varied inputs and inspiration we need to be original and unique creators. The algorithm is extremely limited and dare I say, dangerous.

Join me as I discuss my troubles with clickbait and penguin videos!

Art Sales are Down! What To Do in Uncertain Economic Times Mar 14, 2023

Show notes

My art sales are down. My Christmas sales last year weren’t as great as they were previously. I’m hearing the same thing from a lot of artists and makers and even giant retailers. There’s economic uncertainty and inflation that’s affecting spending. But do I think I should pack it in and stop my art business? NO, I do not. I still think 2023 is the best time to start, build, and grow your art business, and I don’t think it’s time to shrink back. Today on the Josie show I’ve got a few actions and mindsets that will help you in uncertain times.

Show notes

Turns out the word "cathartic" doesn't mean exactly what I thought it did. It actually means poo. I don't often talk about poop, but when I do there's always a good metaphor!

Are You a Pro, or an Amateur? Feb 20, 2023

Show notes

If you make art, you are an artist. But some types of artists are content to dabble and enjoy the process for their own pleasure, and some types seek to share their work publicly, to communicate with other people and perhaps sell their work. Both types are amazing! Watch this video to figure out which type you are.
