1/ One of the things I love most about our digital art movement is how global it is.

So it's no surprise that over fifteen different countries are represented by the first batch of @artistcommons.bsky.social applications.

Big week for @artistcommons.bsky.social

The first two dozen applications are already in, and we've only been open for 48 hours!

It's clear how many artists are tired of figuring out how to do this work alone.

If that sounds like you, I hope you'll take a look at the program and apply.

1/ I already have a favorite piece of @Artist_Commons lore. Monday night, an artist correctly guessed the application URL (/apply) and started filling it out 90 minutes before I even added the link to the homepage.

That is the level of hunger I keep seeing.

1/ Applications for Artist Commons are officially open.

If you've been craving a more focused year for your art, one where you're not working alone, guessing about next steps, or relying on likes for feedback, this is your chance to raise your hand and apply to be a part of our 2026 cohorts.

1/ Achievement unlocked.

I recorded my first podcast episode with Waiting to Be Signed last week. The conversation was absolute fire.

We got into what you need to grow as an artist and how to market your work.

I think you'll dig this one!

1/ Sat down for a great podcast episode with Will at WAITING TO BE SIGNED about how artists can build their practice and what to look for in feedback on your work.

If you’re an artist trying to take your work more seriously, this one’s for you.

1/ Had a great time on Will EP's space, How to Go Crazy (As An Artist), sharing how @artistcommons.bsky.social can serve artists and give their practice the momentum they need going into next year.

Thanks to Will and @deltasauce.bsky.social for having me. It's an amazing community they've built.

1/ What do you need as an artist?

That's the question I kept asking the artists I curate. I wanted to find a way to serve the digital art community in a new and meaningful way.

Curious what @artist_commons can do for artists?

Tomorrow at 1pm ET I’ll be live with a great curator, Jonooo, to walk through what it is, why I built a year-long program instead of a quick course, and how it can serve the artists in your community.

How would you answer this question?
1/ Why is community important for artists?

As the Pulitzer winning writer Jennifer Egan put it, "I really like having a community of trusted collaborators who can help me figure out very early whether material is alive and whether I’m making any egregious mistakes…"

Since stepping back from Alba, I've been building something new — a home for artists that's unlike anything else we have in this space.

More this week. For today, I'll just say it's all about the:

Alissa's (my wife's) book on Joan Didion, Hollywood, and the shaping of modern politics was just named to the longlist of the 2026 Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence in Nonfiction. I couldn’t be more proud of her =)

Friends, I'm looking for a Fuji GFX medium format digital camera to do some macro photography with over the next month for an art project.

If you have a camera body or know someone who does I'd love to work out a trade or deal to borrow it for a bit. DMs are open =)
