<p>Correction:I mention in the podcast that "Bacon was not a trust fund baby." But in truth his mother was an heiress to a fortune from coal mining. But Bacon did not get that money.  His relationship with his family was strained (it seems due to violence and anti- homosexual bigotry that he was on the receiving end of in childhood.) He may have received a small stipend from them, but not enough to live on. His early career was filled with debt.</p>

      <title>Substack for Artists: How to Build Your First Real Audience Before It Gets Too Crowded</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Please ask current subscribers for permission before transferring them to your Substack mailing list. </p>
<p>And conversely, when Substack speeds up and starts using ads, and you leave Substack and begin your own list again, it's a great plan to get consent to transfer your Substack people to your personal email list. </p>
<p>It could be argued that Blue Sky is absolutely still in its heyday as of this writing in 2026. </p>
<p>Bluesky<i> is</i> social media. Therefore, it's fast-paced and approval-based. <i>BUT</i>- unlike Substack, Bluesky enforces a strict anti-hate-speech policy. I admire that.</p>
<p>Bonus material from other artists and writers I respect to help you decide. </p>
<p>Here is a piece by artist <a href="https://artistjetpack.substack.com/p/a-little-bit-about-selling-your-art" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Heather Murray about how to sell your art on Substack vs Etsy</a>.</p>
<p>And a good short piece on <a href="https://katiestack.substack.com/p/making-money-as-an-artist" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">making money as an artist from Katie Stack's Substack</a>.</p>

<p>She has since re-joined Substack. This is a comprehensive, heartfelt take that most artists will benefit from watching. She grew her mailing list exponentially, and her art is very cool. :)</p>
<p>Do you consider yourself a writer and not an artist? </p>
<p>Here's a solid YouTube interview of Jane Friedman which answers the question, <a href="https://youtu.be/JP2EuDDDGRI?si=l5H52g7YJTw635Rf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Is Substack the Best Platform for Writers</a>?</p>

<p>If you want to write real letters and send art mail to writers and artists you admire, bravo!</p>
<p><br>
 Here is some hints on how to find their address:</p>
<p><strong>But How Do I Find the Address of the Artist or Writer?</strong></p>
<p>Many authors dont list their physical address or email online.</p>
<p>So, how do you find the address of the artist or writer you just wrote this charming note to?</p>
<p>You just need to send it to their agent or publisher, who will gladly pass it on to them.<br>
 Google the “xyz publisher’s name, contact us” and you will usually find the info.</p>
<p>To find an author’s publisher, look at the bottom of the spine of a physical book of theirs. Or visit the library or a bookstore and look in the front matter..</p>
<p>Or go online. Find the book’s page on Amazon and press the “see inside” function if available. Scan down in the front matter till you see the publisher’s name, and the physical address will usually be right underneath.</p>
<p>To find an author’s agent, look in the acknowledgments of their latest book. They often give a shout-out to their agent.<br>
 Then, Google “xyz agent’s name, contact info” to get an email or physical mailing address.<br>
 If artists don’t list an email or mailing address, send it to them via their gallery or their publisher if they have authored a book.</p>
<p>Also, bloggers and other humans with a mailing list are usually legally required to list a snail mail postal address on the footer of every email they send out. Look there.</p>

<p>Or go online. Find the book’s page on Amazon and press the “see inside” function if available. Scan down in the front matter till you see the publisher’s name, and the physical address will usually be right underneath.</p>
<p>To find an author’s agent, look in the acknowledgments of their latest book. They often give a shout-out to their agent.<br>
 Then, Google “xyz agent’s name, contact info” to get an email or physical mailing address.<br>
 If artists don’t list an email or mailing address, send it to them via their gallery or their publisher if they have authored a book.</p>
<p>Also, bloggers and other humans with a mailing list are usually legally required to list a snail mail postal address on the footer of every email they send out. Look there.</p>

      <itunes:summary>What if almost everything you’ve been taught about selling more art on Instagram is wrong? What if follower count has become one of the biggest distractions from what actually builds a meaningful art career?

After interviewing countless successful artists, I’ve discovered something wild: many thriving artists have surprisingly small followings. Their success was not built on chasing numbers—it was built on creating meaningful work, nurturing real relationships, and staying true to their own path.

In this short, heart-centered episode, discover the love-based action that matters far more than follower count. Learn how to have more fun, make more genuine connections, and build an art career that reflects who you truly are. As the ancient Greek inscription above the entrance to the Oracle at Delphi reminds us: &quot;Know thyself.&quot;</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Did Pompeii have gardens? Absolutely.
Behind the walls of ancient Roman villas were lush, imaginative pleasure gardens filled with flowers, fruit trees, fountains, sculptures, and quiet spaces designed for beauty, relaxation, and delight.
In this episode, discover what the gardens of Pompeii were really like—and how you can recreate a little piece of that ancient Roman paradise in pots on your own patio.

Drawing on insights from Michael DeHart of the Getty Villa, I explore the plants, design ideas, and surprising details that brought Pompeian gardens to life.
Whether you’re a history lover, a gardener, or someone who dreams of a more beautiful outdoor space, this episode will transport you nearly 2,000 years into the gardens of ancient Rome.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Why do artists go away? So they can come back with new eyes.

Fieldwork might sound like something reserved for anthropologists and archaeologists, but artists have been doing it forever. Actually, artists are researchers. We need to go into the world, observe, collect, question, and bring something back.
In this episode, you&apos;ll discover how travel—whether across the globe or closer to home—can become a powerful form of creative fieldwork. By paying attention to people, places, cultures, textures, stories, and experiences, you can gather the raw material that helps your art become richer and more meaningful.
Many artists are hungry for intellectual depth. They don&apos;t just want another list of quick tips for making more art or selling more work. They want to understand the world more deeply, ask better questions, and create work that reflects their unique way of seeing.
Listen in for stories and insights from artists who use exploration, observation, and curiosity to strengthen their creative practice, build confidence, and discover new possibilities for their work.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Feeling discouraged after an unsubscribe? You&apos;re not alone. Every artist experiences rejection, and when someone chooses to leave your blog or newsletter, it&apos;s easy to take it personally.
In this episode, I share four unexpected ways to reframe unsubscribes, regain your confidence, and keep creating. Rather than focusing on marketing metrics, we&apos;ll explore why unsubscribes can actually strengthen your blog, refine your audience, and help you grow as both an artist and a person.
If an unsubscribe has ever made you question your work, this episode will encourage you to see it in a whole new light—and leave you feeling stronger than before.

      <itunes:summary>Some of the most powerful art comes from experiences that are difficult to express, understand, or share. In this episode, we explore how artists transform life’s difficult stories into meaningful creative work.
Originally developed from my published exploration of this topic in a major magazine for artists,  this episode expands the conversation through interviews with three artists who turned deeply personal experiences into art, along with insights from LCSW Gale Nienhuis.
Together, we examine the role of the “shadow side” in artistic practice and how artists can approach challenging subjects with honesty, compassion, and intention. This thoughtful discussion reveals why the parts of life we often hide can sometimes become the source of our most authentic work.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Melissa Zink’s Magic Suitcase is a story about the creative ideas we carry with us—the ones that may seem unusual, impractical, or easy to dismiss, but refuse to disappear. In this episode, we explore a memorable story from the life of Taos artist and creative rebel Melissa Zink (1932–2009) and the unexpected way she discovered the treasures hidden inside her own imagination.
Through Zink&apos;s story, we’re reminded that creative brilliance often comes from trusting our curiosity, following the ideas that keep calling us, and giving ourselves permission to explore what feels uniquely ours. If you’ve ever wondered whether your strangest ideas might hold something meaningful, this story is an invitation to open your own creative suitcase.</itunes:summary>

In this episode, I share the burnout stories of artists who opened up about what led them there, how they recognized what was happening, and what they changed to find their way back to creativity.

From overworking and creative pressure to balancing the business side of art with the making of art, these honest reflections offer encouragement and insight for any artist who wants to protect their creative energy and keep making work they love.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Rachel Carson was a scientist, writer, and visionary storyteller whose words changed the way we see the natural world. But one of her lesser-known works, The Sense of Wonder, offers a beautiful lesson for artists and writers: the importance of protecting our curiosity, imagination, and ability to be amazed.
In this episode of The Charmed Studio Podcast, we explore Rachel Carson’s creative wisdom and how her invitation to notice the beauty around us can help artists and writers reconnect with inspiration — especially during times of uncertainty, overwhelm, or creative struggle.
Consider Rachel Carson a fairy godmother for creative souls, reminding us that wonder is not something we outgrow. It is a source of courage, connection, and renewal — and it can guide us back to our own creative voice.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Why is writing about your art so hard? For many artists, the challenge isn’t a lack of ideas — it’s putting those ideas into words and allowing ourselves to be truly understood. Sometimes unclear writing isn’t about not knowing what to say. It can be a way of protecting ourselves from being judged, misunderstood, or challenged. When our work feels deeply personal, explaining what we mean can feel surprisingly vulnerable. In this episode of The Charmed Studio Podcast, we explore the fear behind the words and why artists sometimes struggle to write clearly about their work. You’ll discover how to recognize what may be holding your writing back and how to express your ideas with more honesty and clarity.</itunes:summary>
