In this video, I’m sharing my 15 rules for an artful 2026—the kind of year where your creativity doesn’t just “happen” when you’re inspired, but becomes a lived practice. Think of these rules like little protective wards for your time, energy, and sketchbook: habits that keep you making art even when the world is loud, your brain is tired, or perfectionism starts whispering its usual nonsense. This is very much about artist life—how I want to show up, what I’m refusing to carry anymore, and what I’m choosing instead. I frame these rules around creative mindset, artful living, and the small rituals that help me stay connected to my work. It’s not a productivity sermon—it’s a permission slip with a spooky little backbone. If you’re trying to build consistency, soften the pressure, and actually enjoy the making again, these rules are meant to guide you back to your own magic (and keep you there).
