Years ago, I read Jeff Goins’ Real Artists Don’t Starve, and one idea stayed with me: practice in public. It inspired me to embrace visibility as a tool for growth, connection, and refinement in my creative journey.

In the early days, I minted work wherever inspiration struck, freely exploring and experimenting. While this fueled my passion, reflecting on my work as Second Realm taught me a deeper lesson: sharing art isn’t just about being seen—it’s about being intentional.

Today, I’ve chosen Rodeo as the platform for tokenizing experiments and studies—a platform aligned with my goals of composability and accessibility. Centralizing (eek!) this type of work allows me to create a curated and thoughtful digital sketchbook, inviting others into my behind-the-scenes processes with focus and purpose.

Jeff’s book planted the seed for this approach, but my journey has shaped how I apply it. Art that lasts isn’t about frequency; it’s about significance. Practicing in public remains central to what I do, but now it’s paired with purpose: to build up to a deeper and more meaningful series of artworks that connect, inspire, and endure.

Side note: even this blog is an extension of practicing in public—an ongoing dialogue where each post reflects my commitment to growth and engagement.
