Y’all, most of my biggest projects did NOT come from a pitch. 👀

They came from someone saying my name in a room.

And that only happens because of how you build relationships in the first place. When you meet someone, it shouldn’t always be about asking for something. Be genuinely interested. Learn what they need. Find ways to help.

Then FOLLOW THROUGH. Follow up. Call instead of text. Remember what they told you. Ask if their mother is okay. Celebrate their wins.

Opportunities move through relationships. Someone remembers you. Someone trusts you. Someone says your name.

Just be somebody that cares. 💜

From @articulateatl’s The Business of Creativity panel. Who’s someone that said YOUR name in a room? Tag them 👇🏾

This is the business of art. Because knowing the business is what protects the art.

Did you know you can take ComfiArt home? 👀🏠

Prints start at $49.99, in multiple sizes, framed or unframed.

This is what it looks like to build real opportunities for artists: their work, in real homes, with real sales. 💜

Which piece would you hang first? 👇🏾

Went to a private dinner last night and y’all… I’m still sitting with it. 🖤

@serenetheagency Agency hosted A Night for Rashad A. Muhammad, and his pop-up exhibition Finding the Light. It’s mixed media collage work about how HIV/AIDS moves through individuals, families, and generations, and about breaking the silence that stigma creates.

Layered archival imagery, fabric, text, and texture. Every piece holds grief and joy in the same frame.

The line from the exhibition card I can’t stop thinking about: grief is not the end of the story. Resilience lives inside it.

Art like this is why we do what we do. Congratulations, @ramcreates Rashad. 💜

This week I had to jump on the mural. 🎨

Y’all, sometimes running the project means picking up a brush. I spent my Friday on the lift in Griffin assisting @lasttospeak bring this iris to life. Harness on, coat after coat, every board by hand.

We’re ALMOST done, and I can’t wait to show you the final product. Stay tuned. 💜

Just went to the Atlanta Art Fair and y’all… I’m still thinking about it. 🎨✨

Booth after booth of work that stopped me in my tracks. The storytelling, the color, the craft. Some of it had me standing there for a full minute just taking it in.

I left so inspired, and reminded why I do what I do. Atlanta’s art scene is RIGHT here. 💜

Which piece would you take home? 👇🏾

POV: pulling up to talk business… but the art had me first. 🎨

Y’all, before I sat down for The Business of Creativity panel with @articulateatl, I had to walk the walls at @buckheadartandcompany. The texture, the color, the storytelling. Atlanta artists are NOT playing.
