    ✨ Artist Resource Page (ALL YOU NEED TO ROCK YOUR ART BUSINESS) ✨ Social media is rented land. Your email list is something you actually own.

From embracing imperfect action to trusting the long game, we're sharing the advice we wish someone had given us when we started. Whether you're a full time artist, creative entrepreneur, or just beginning your journey, this conversation is packed with practical encouragement to help you keep moving forward.

    100. One Hundred Episodes In and Learning From Edith Anne Duncan

    For our 100th episode, we're honored to welcome one of our favorite designers, Edith Anne Duncan, for a conversation that every art lover and homeowner needs to hear. In a world obsessed with trends and perfectly styled spaces, Edith reminds us of something far more enduring: great design doesn't begin with furniture—it begins with art. Together, we explore why original artwork creates homes with soul, how designers use art to guide every design decision, and what collectors often get backwards when furnishing a space. Whether you're decorating your first home, collecting your first original painting, or simply wanting your spaces to feel more personal, this conversation will completely change the way you think about design. In this episode, we discuss: Why art should come before furniture. How original artwork creates rooms that feel layered and collected. The biggest decorating mistakes homeowners make. What designers look for when selecting artwork. Why investing in meaningful art transforms a house into a home. If you've ever wondered why some homes simply feel different, this episode will show you why. Thank you for being part of the first 100 episodes of The Splatter Effect. We couldn't have reached this milestone without you, and we're so excited for what's ahead.

    96. If We Had to: Rebuild an Art Business From Zero in 2026

    ⬇️⬇️⬇️ JOIN THE SPLATTER EFFECT SUMMER CHALLENGE In episode two of our If We Had To series, we're asking a bigger question: If we woke up tomorrow with zero audience, zero collectors, and zero momentum, how would we rebuild an art business in 2026? We're breaking down the exact first moves we'd make: choosing one lane, documenting before feeling ready, building a collector pathway, and creating momentum before waiting for everything to be perfect. We talk about where we'd focus our energy, how we'd approach first sales, and the things we'd intentionally skip. Because rebuilding doesn't happen behind the scenes.

    ⬇️⬇️⬇️ JOIN THE SPLATTER EFFECT SUMMER CHALLENGE In the first episode of our If We Had To series, we're answering one question: If everything reset tomorrow and we had to make $1,000 from our art in the next 30 days, what would we actually do? No massive following. No perfect website. No waiting around for growth. We're breaking down the exact plan we'd follow week by week: the offers we'd create, where we'd sell, what we'd completely ignore, and why speed beats perfection every single time. If you've ever wondered where you'd start if you needed momentum quickly, this episode is your blueprint. Because $1K doesn't come from more followers.
