Course

For Artists Who Need to Make Money and Don't Feel Seen

You make the work. You post the work. Nobody sees it. You start wondering if the problem is you. It's not. The problem is that nobody taught artists how to be visible and get paid. I did it. This is how.

The problem

You make beautiful work. You post it. Nothing happens. You try reels, hashtags, posting at the right time. Still nothing. You start to think maybe your work isn't good enough. But that's not the problem. The problem is that you were never taught how to be seen.

I know because I was invisible for years. I had twenty years of surface pattern design for Porsche, Alfa Romeo, Alessi, Absolut Vodka. My work sits in the MAK in Vienna. And still, nobody saw me online. I was making art for other people's surfaces and disappearing behind them.

Then I stopped hiding behind the work and started showing who I am. The mess, the fire, the mornings I wanted to quit, the plates with swear words I fired at 1,200 degrees because I couldn't say those words out loud. Within months I went from invisible to 457,000 monthly views. People started buying. Not because the work got better. Because they could finally see the person making it. This course is everything I learned about being seen and getting paid.

“The algorithm doesn't reward perfection. It rewards honesty. And honesty is the one thing art school never taught us to show.”

For artists who are done waiting to be discovered

You don't need another online course. You need someone who has done it, who looks at your specific work and tells you what's working, what's not, and what to do next. That's what this is.

I've spent twenty years making a living as a surface pattern designer. I've worked with car companies and fashion houses and museums. I've written four million words of morning pages and turned that practice into a book. I know what it takes to keep making work and keep getting paid for it.

This is not therapy and it's not mentoring. It's a working session. You bring your work, your Instagram, your questions. I bring my eyes, my experience, and the honest feedback nobody else will give you.

“I spent years being someone's surface. Now I help other artists stop being invisible.”
