Celebrate Creativity: Dear Artist, Don't Give Up Released!

There is a specific kind of magic that happens when you hold a finished book in your hands for the first time. It is a mix of relief, excitement, and that “I actually did it” feeling that never gets old. I am beyond thrilled to announce that my 4th book, Dear Artist, Don’t Give Up!, has officially been released.

The Journey to Number Four

Writing a book is always a marathon, but this one felt different. It came to life during a year that was already packed with massive mural projects, speaking engagements, and some personal hurdles that really tested our resilience.

If there is one thing I have learned through this process, it is that creativity doesn’t always wait for the perfect time. Sometimes, you have to carve out space for your voice in the middle of the chaos. This book is a result of those late nights, early mornings, and the stubborn belief that these words needed to be shared right now.

What This Book is All About

The title says it all: Dear Artist, Don’t Give Up! This book is a natural evolution of the journey we have been on together. It dives deeper into the heart of what it means to live a creative life, navigating the ups and downs of the “brain jar,” and finding the courage to keep showing up at the canvas, the page, or the stage when things get tough. It is essentially a love letter and a pep talk for every creator who has ever doubted their path.

Why Milestones Matter

Reaching book number four is a reminder to stop and celebrate the wins. In the hustle of being a creative entrepreneur, it is so easy to finish a project and immediately ask, “Okay, what’s next?” But today, I am taking a moment to just be grateful.

I am grateful for the process, the lessons learned during the hard chapters, and the incredible support from Klee and all of you who have followed along with our adventures.
