AGREE Dries. We need to just STOP being self-critical and obsessed with others' opinions, BUT be true to the feeling of creativity. I would like to do a Podcast with you if you are interested?

As Warren Buffet said. Investment in YOURSELF. Therefore your ART. Relax and expand into realms you could not imagine. Enjoy 2024 with a new step in your creativity

So would I

[@ZeynoArts]

great video, what was the coloring book?

[@journeyofaconfusedartist]

Actually, the 20/70/10 is based on investments. How much do you spend, paying debt and investment, BUT I AGREE it can be applied to Art and investment in time etc...

[@driesketels]

Interesting, it can apply to many areas of life for sure
