Make money. Make your art. Putting the two together is not what you think.
A field guide for artists and makers who want to earn a living without handing their art over to a client, a boss, or an algorithm. Plus a set of free tools to help you start, aim, and keep the engine running.
Free, forever. Little machines to help you start, aim, and keep the engine running. No boss but you.
For musicians. A box small enough to start in, loose enough to fight with.
For visual artists. Same idea, different palette. Make the thing before you talk yourself out of it.
Reach in, pull one out, and let it point your legs in a direction.
One sentence that turns you from a vague blob into a sharp image people remember.
Turn a big, scary goal into something you actually do on a random Tuesday.
Find your natural window for sleep and focus, then build your day around it.
no boss but you

You’ll get one email with the link right away. Every so often after that, I’ll send you something I think is worth your time. If I ever stop being worth your time, unsubscribe. I won’t take it personally. (I will a little.)
The whole argument, in one place. Why chasing validation quietly wrecks your work, how to make a living without fusing it to your art, and how to build toward a thousand true fans. If the tools helped, the book is the map they came from.
