So, you’re planning an event. You’ve got the venue, the lukewarm coffee, and the itinerary. Now you just need a speaker who won’t make everyone check their watches every five minutes.
Enter: Rafi and Klee.
We’ve spent years navigating the trenches of the art world, fighting off perfectionism, dealing with “green screen” conspiracy theorists, and building a creative life on our own terms. We don’t do dry PowerPoint presentations, and we definitely don’t do “corporate speak.” We bring stories, hard-earned wisdom, and a healthy dose of “tell-it-like-it-is” energy.

The “Artistic Arsenal” (What We Talk About)
We don’t do dry PowerPoint slides. We dive into the topics that actually keep artists up at night, pulling directly from our books and our daily life experience as working creators:
- Rogue Marketing & Branding: How to build a brand that is authentically you and find your tribe without feeling like a greasy car salesman.
- The Business of Art: Managing your money, production workflows, and pricing your work so you actually make a living (instead of just a “starving artist” cliché).
- The “Out-of-the-Box” Mentality: Practical tips and tricks for doing art shows, festivals, and exhibitions without losing your mind… or your magic.
- The Creative Mindset: How to think outside the box, stay inspired, and keep the “fun” in your career even when the “business” side gets heavy.

Why Book Us?
- Written in Ink: Our talks are informed by the deep-dives in our books. We aren’t just winging it; we’ve codified these strategies through years of trial and error.
- The Dynamic Duo: You get Rafi (the philosophical strategist) and Klee (the master of production and truth-telling). It’s a conversational, high-energy vibe that keeps people engaged.
- No Fluff, Just Fire: We don’t use corporate buzzwords. We talk about the grit, the mess, and the absolute joy of a creative life. We want your audience to leave feeling like they have a permission slip to go out and be awesome.

Our Very Minimal Requirements
- High-Octane Coffee: If it tastes like a burnt tire, we can’t be held responsible for our energy levels.
- An Eagerness to Question: We love a rowdy Q&A. Bring us your toughest questions about the art industry or being a small business.
- Zero Perfectionism: We’re coming to share the truth, not a polished facade.

Ready to wake up your audience?
Whether it’s a keynote, a university workshop, or a creative conference, we bring the tools and the “talkie-talkie” energy to help artists thrive.

THE CORPORATE CHAOS
You might think, “What do a couple of rogue artists have to offer a room full of corporate professionals?” As it turns out: A lot. In a world of spreadsheets, KPIs, and endless Zoom calls, the “creative muscle” is often the first thing to atrophy. We don’t just speak to artists; we speak to humans. We bring the mindset of the studio into the office, helping your team rediscover the innovation and resilience that only comes from thinking like a creator.
For the Company: Building a “Creative” Culture
Innovation doesn’t happen in a vacuum, and it certainly doesn’t happen when people are afraid to fail. We help your organization:
- Break the Perfectionism Trap: We teach teams how to move past the “analysis paralysis” that kills new ideas.
- Outside-the-Box Problem Solving: Artists are the original “pivot” masters. We share how to look at limited resources and see infinite possibilities.
- Human-Centric Branding: We show companies how to ditch the corporate mask and build authentic connections with their clients, just like an artist does with their collectors.

For the Individual Employee: Rediscovering the Magic
Burnout happens when the “magic” of the work is replaced by the “mechanics.” We help your employees:
Creative Confidence: Every person is a creator in some capacity. We help shy “non-creatives” find their voice and contribute more boldly to team collaborations.
Reconnect with Purpose: We provide tools to help individuals find the creative flow in their daily tasks, turning a “job” back into a craft.
Mental Agility & Resilience: Using the “willing to die for this” barometer, we help employees manage stress and put high-pressure situations into a healthy, productive perspective.
“The worst enemy of creative innovation is self doubt, fear, and stability. That is why it is a good thing that there is nothing stable about blazing your own trail as an artist.” -Rafi #artistlife #rogueartist
