1. The Brutal Truth No One Tells You Your first NFT sale is the hardest. Not the second. Not the tenth. The first one. And here’s the uncomfortable reality:Most people never get there. I’ve been there—uploading NFTs, refreshing the page, hoping for that first notification… and getting nothing. No bids. No offers. Just silence. It’s … Read more
1. The Reality Most Creators Don’t Want to Hear Most NFT art doesn’t sell. Not because it’s ugly. Not because the creator lacks skill.

So let me ask the uncomfortable question nobody in the creative industry really wants to sit with: does that mean digital artists are on their way out? I’ve spent the last few years on both sides of this debate — prompting Midjourney at 2 … Read more
I didn’t think anyone would pay for AI-generated art… until I made my first sale. It was a simple botanical print — soft greens, muted cream background, the kind of thing you’d find framed in a Joanna Gaines living room.
