The Art BizYour Life is a Work of Art: Annual Review (#135)Alyson Stanfield walks you through her thoughts on reviewing your year. There are 3 reasons to bother reviewing your year: (1) To honor life, (2) to remind yourself of what you have accomplished, and (3) to prepare for the New Year.

The Art BizPersonalizing Your Marketing to Improve Results (#107)We’re all about the quest for more followers, more likes, more shares, more views, and more comments these days. It feels good when more people respond to your art because art is a form of communication. It’s the means you use to share your ideas and your soul with the world. But that self-expression isn’t meaningful until other people respond. Until they comment, share, and start a dialogue with you about it. And when you put the work out there and don’t get the appropriate number of expected likes or comments, you are unfulfilled. It’s n...2021-10-2812 min
