The tips and tricks I’ve implemented in 2026 to keep creating, growing my creative art practise without the additional financial overwhelm.

The veil between what’s real and what’s fake is blending in 2026 and that’s not even taking into consideration all the possibilities for “faking”, “changing” and “influencing” the reality using AI tools.
