    96. If We Had to: Rebuild an Art Business From Zero in 2026

    ⬇️⬇️⬇️ JOIN THE SPLATTER EFFECT SUMMER CHALLENGE In episode two of our If We Had To series, we're asking a bigger question: If we woke up tomorrow with zero audience, zero collectors, and zero momentum, how would we rebuild an art business in 2026? We're breaking down the exact first moves we'd make: choosing one lane, documenting before feeling ready, building a collector pathway, and creating momentum before waiting for everything to be perfect. We talk about where we'd focus our energy, how we'd approach first sales, and the things we'd intentionally skip. Because rebuilding doesn't happen behind the scenes. Momentum is built in public, not in private. It can be lonely selling art every week without a solid group of like-minded friends.

    95. If We Had To: Make $1,000 in 30 Days as Artists

    ⬇️⬇️⬇️ JOIN THE SPLATTER EFFECT SUMMER CHALLENGE In the first episode of our If We Had To series, we're answering one question: If everything reset tomorrow and we had to make $1,000 from our art in the next 30 days, what would we actually do? No massive following. No perfect website. No waiting around for growth. We're breaking down the exact plan we'd follow week by week: the offers we'd create, where we'd sell, what we'd completely ignore, and why speed beats perfection every single time. If you've ever wondered where you'd start if you needed momentum quickly, this episode is your blueprint. Because $1K doesn't come from more followers. It comes from a clear offer and asking people to buy. It can be lonely selling art every week without a solid group of like-minded friends.
