1/ Achievement unlocked.

I recorded my first podcast episode with Waiting to Be Signed last week. The conversation was absolute fire.

We got into what you need to grow as an artist and how to market your work.

I think you'll dig this one!

If you’re an artist trying to take your work more seriously, this one’s for you.

1/ Had a great time on Will EP's space, How to Go Crazy (As An Artist), sharing how @artistcommons.bsky.social can serve artists and give their practice the momentum they need going into next year.

Thanks to Will and @deltasauce.bsky.social for having me. It's an amazing community they've built.

1/ What do you need as an artist?

That's the question I kept asking the artists I curate. I wanted to find a way to serve the digital art community in a new and meaningful way.

Curious what @artist_commons can do for artists?

Tomorrow at 1pm ET I’ll be live with a great curator, Jonooo, to walk through what it is, why I built a year-long program instead of a quick course, and how it can serve the artists in your community.

How would you answer this question?
1/ Why is community important for artists?

As the Pulitzer winning writer Jennifer Egan put it, "I really like having a community of trusted collaborators who can help me figure out very early whether material is alive and whether I’m making any egregious mistakes…"

Since stepping back from Alba, I've been building something new — a home for artists that's unlike anything else we have in this space.

More this week. For today, I'll just say it's all about the:

Alissa's (my wife's) book on Joan Didion, Hollywood, and the shaping of modern politics was just named to the longlist of the 2026 Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence in Nonfiction. I couldn’t be more proud of her =)

Friends, I'm looking for a Fuji GFX medium format digital camera to do some macro photography with over the next month for an art project.

If you have a camera body or know someone who does I'd love to work out a trade or deal to borrow it for a bit. DMs are open =)

“Everybody has an opinion about art and most of it is ignorance.” - Dan Flavin

Looking at Web3, I wonder what Flavin would make of betting on art and what names will succeed (in the longrun) based largely on highly opinionated data.

The BUSY plots by James Merrill look incredible in person.

They’re like tiny, complex cityscapes nested as tightly as Rube Goldberg machines.
