I got the opportunity this weekend to celebrate the launch of .ave Inaugural magazine, it was such an incredible experience to see so many passionate entrepreneurs come together on one platform. Stories featured coast to coast from Los Angeles, North Tulsa to New York City. The creativity and determination shined throughout the event and the magazine’s pages with incredible visuals and stories.

“A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.”

So big shout out to the .ave & team for being that candle that is not afraid to light others. We are incredibly thankful for yall being the example of what a single flame can do.

Thank you for inspiring the rest of us to keep doing what we love and creating something great!

and I started a contemporary art studio for our artwork after I joked about blue-chip artists. Say hello to Lottry Studio. We don't have a studio yet, so if you know MacKenzie Scott, don't be shy to send her our way.

But we do have sales in our first month, which puts us at the halfway mark of crushing our goals for the year! We did this without launching a website. Thanks to all of you who support my work and for having good taste.

One thing that is important to me while we are building our practice is how we can do it without overplanning and overpaying for items that are not important in the stage we are at. I'm also no gatekeeper, so while I'm building this, I'll be giving free game on what worked and what didn't since we are building in public.

So I added a diagram showing how we sell art without paying for a website.
