Why this book matters

Dear Artist is a conversation between creative humans. It’s the reminder I wish I had when doubt screamed the loudest. If you’ve ever second-guessed your work, stalled out on a project, or felt like an outsider in the art world, these pages are a flashlight in the dark. No gatekeepers. No permission slips. Just honesty, humor, and momentum.

How to join

• Grab your favorite beverage and a comfy seat
• Hop on the live stream at 5:00pm Eastern
• Say hello in the chat so we know you’re there
• If you want a signed copy, I’ll share details during the stream

Thank you

To everyone who believed in this book, pre-ordered, shared encouragement, or just kept showing up with your creative spirit, thank you. You are the heartbeat of this community. Tonight we celebrate you as much as the book.

See you at 5. Let’s make this release party a moment we look back on and say, yep, that was the night we reminded ourselves why we create.
