Do you tend to postpone large tasks? Is there a project you know you need to get started on, but never seem to get going? Do you lack motivation to complete projects? You are likely struggling with procrastination, which can easily be translated into one word: later.

Most artists are familiar with receiving little to no payment for their services. And while there are, of course, several complicated reasons for this, what happens when you are deprived of reasonable payment from people who claim they want to help artists?

As an artist, it can take several years to develop a unique style that defines you. The little "je ne sais pas" that puts the dot above the i.

The Oslo Academy of the Arts (KHiO) is in bad weather after activists studying at the school have attacked the development of a moral identity policy that threatens academic freedom. Frustrated gallery owners have to deal with hypersensitive artists who cannot stand to be rejected, and several Facebook groups are now closed for constructive criticism.

The art expressions nobody gets

Plein Air, varnishing and autodidact; it sounds like you are being verbally abused by a Frenchman. The terms are mainly used by us who work in creative professions, to avoid the hassle of explanations. But in certain cases, some like to assert that they can talk complicated about things to seem more important. Let's just pop that bubble, shall we?

Hidden & Artess

If you were one of those people who trudged through the bushes in search of little Pokémon characters with your cell phone, you will probably recognize this not-so-new concept: HIDDEN is a platform for those who love stories, myths and culture. Together with creative people, HIDDEN gives you the opportunity to experience this via digital virtual content.
