I'm not going to lie to you — it's hard out here. There's AI, constant financial uncertainty, the unbearable lightness of being perceived ... being an artist is a lot more difficult than I thought it would be when I was a teenager who liked making pretty pictures from the shitty photographs on my cheap digital camera.

At any rate, now that you've read this, you should probably get back to what was undoubtedly a riveting conversation with Nick.

After signing up for the newsletter, of course. ;)

Thank you!
