The Blurry Line between Business & Art
An article, a song, and an AI idea
My Evernote has 12,860 notes, and my Notion probably has a few thousand notes as well. It’s a mix of internet clippings that inspire me, and outlined ideas that I don’t have bandwidth to execute on.
I always thought it lacked a theme so I never shared them. I’m learning the theme can come with time, and bringing others along for the ride is worth it.

I explored a fun idea this week of creating a poster store website with AI written artist profiles, AI artist bio photos, and then building a body of work for each (fictional?) AI artist that you can purchase. I don’t have time to execute fully on it, but if you want to help me bring this to reality, send me a message. Your job would be to use a few tools to create the images, bios and do light copy and image editing. I can show you how (and the website would be done for you)!
