We do not use AI to generate images. We support human artists. And we’re always looking for great art by real artists to feature in our newsletters! If you are an artist (or know of one), please leave a comment with a link to your art. Each piece we feature goes to more than 100,000 inboxes and is properly attributed with backlinks to the artist’s website. We discovered some great art from artists who commented on our last article.

Adam Singer has done it again! He’s becoming almost a regular contributor here at The BoldBrush Letter. The following article was written by Adam Singer, the man and the mind behind the publication Hot Takes.

Hot Takes is spicy, useful, occasionally snarky takes (~1-2x/week at most) from Adam Singer on marketing, tech, investing, creativity and more. We, at BoldBrush, have found Adam’s thoughts about marketing insightful, refreshing, contrarian and aligned with our own philosophy of valuing real long-term human relationships over cheap engagement.

We urge you to subscribe to his insight packed newsletter, which has great value for artists and creatives by clicking the button below:

This article originally appeared on the Hot Takes here. I’m sharing it with The BoldBrush Letter because in it, Adam has explored an important topic for creative people.

Editor’s Note: In two days, this post will be locked and is available only to paid members because we don’t want this duplicate content on the open web in a way that might draw traffic away from Adam’s original post. If you are not a BoldBrush paid subscriber, you can still read the entire post here.
