TODAY PERFECTIONISM KICKED IN, FOR NO REASON.

I wasn't planning on doing anything creative, I am a bit under the weather so I decided to just drop some paintings off at the post office and take some rest. But when I an taking a rest I am usually messing around on my laptop. I have this idea of promoting my type foundry […]

I Just Dropped My 2025 Art Video

Last year, I did an interview about myself as an artist and painter and what kept me going. However, a lot can change in a year, and the past 12 months were quite something. I wasn't planning on dropping a video, but at the same time, I felt the need to show that I switched

SUCCESS IS NEVER A STRAIGHT LINE TO THE TOP

Sometimes the number of amazing ideas can be quite overwhelming. Although most people would be satisfied with even half of the creative input my mind is producing, it can be a struggle to manage all projects at once every now and then. Today was a day like that. I woke up with an incredible idea,

Feeling blessed just because of three simpel pencils

I Shared My First App with Friends

Yes, I'm working hard to step out of my comfort zone and address my perfectionism at the same time. Today, I asked my no-code app developer for one more final fix. Then, I asked my AI to write a short instruction for my friends to use the app, which is still in development. As I

The power of the neutral, grey

Feeling free to create whatever you want is beautiful. Just let things flow. That is exactly what I did today. Just image for a second that I have a six buckets of paint always ready to go, these buckets are hand mixed acrylic paint. One for Yellow, Orange, Pink, Blue, Purple, and … Grey. But

Giving an Old Idea a New Life

For a while, I had this app idea. I even talked to Chat about it, and we made a whole plan. However, I am not a developer, so how do you bring your idea to life? Today, the no-code AI developer applications are so smooth that I am actually able to build one now. Of
