Take Control Of Your Art Journey
After a bit of a break to sort out our own lives, Klee and I are back on the air with our podcast. In our upcoming conversations, I’m excited to delve into the emotional side of pursuing an art career. It’s an aspect that often gets overlooked. So many advice blogs and resources focus on the intellectual "do this, then that" approach. But the truth is, as artists and as human beings, our diversity extends to how we feel about our work and our paths. That’s what Klee and I are eager to explore and share with our listeners.

Great Advice for Artists!
This is such a fun podcast with great advice for artists of any kind. I’m a writer/digital artist, and all the tips and inspiration about living a creative life are so encouraging. It’s a fun, hangout kind of show, perfect to put on, work to, and learn from.
THANK YOU! for the Aug 22, 2022 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Rafi…THANK YOU for your words of encouragement and wisdom on the Aug 22 episode. I very much needed to hear all of that.
My goodness. Everything you talked about I’m going thru right now. Ok…for the last 8 months. LOL!
But the encouragement from you (and Klee), knowing u both live it EVERYDAY, the struggles-2 steps forward, 5 steps back- but do it because you love it. PERIOD. end of story. Dude, that rang so true with me and I needed to hear it.
In Dec 2021, I separated (ok was fired) from my regular 9-5 good paying job, and I decided to pick up the paint brushes again in plans to paint and illustrate. Needless to say, it’s been tough…denied unemployment, no $ coming in and just getting by, and thus, questioning if this is the right path. I’m blessed to have a VERY spiritual, supportive and loving life, so she has been hanging in there thru this process.
At the end of the day, your words made me realize that no matter what happens (even if I have to maybe get a side gig, or even go back to working for the man), I need to continue to do my artwork because I do truly love it.
In the book, Tatoos on the Heart, Fr Boyle quoted Mother Teresa saying “We are not called to be successful, but faithful.” He goes on to say “If you surrender your need for results and outcomes, success becomes God’s business.”
Again, thank you to Rafi and Klee for your podcast(s) and Shari g your story and journey.
God bless & ☮️
