Time for some tough love with your bestie. Many of us misunderstand self-care, and end up treating the symptoms instead of the root of our unhappiness. Like putting a bandaid on a missing foot. It will not be of much help. How to we practice real self-care? (Hint: is has nothing to do with spa day, mud mask, chocolate, shopping or other material things.)                                                    But what is actual real self care?  In this episode, we discuss 7 different ways you can try to improve your life by taking care of yourself. This naturally involves making some changes if you are not satisfied with your current situation.  I&apos;ve boiled it down to these 7 steps:  Improve your mental diet. Learn to let people down. Set clear boundaries and protect them.  Make replacements.  Look forward at your future, not back at your past.  Upgrade your library.  Stop self-rejecting.  In this episode, I go deep into what each of these points means and how they all fit together in the larger picture of life. Remember that everyone is different and might need other solutions then the ones i&apos;ve listed in this podcast episode.

Would you own an artwork made by Hitler?   Death of the artist, derived from "Death of the Author", is a concept from mid-20th Century literary criticism; it holds that an author&apos;s intentions and biographical facts such as politics, religion and so on should hold no special weight in determining an interpretation of their writing. We usually understand this as meaning that a writer&apos;s views about their own work are no more or less valid than the interpretations of any reader. And so in our modern society:                        Can we separate the art from the artist?

The evolution of technology we invariably reach a crossroads where we must make a choice. Today's topic revolves around if humans will have an active role in the production of art in the future, and where we might be headed.

As an artist, this discussion is quite difficult as i immediately feel threatened by all the recent problems and possibilities that arrive with a shift in the digital art world. Will I be a part of it in the future? Let's discuss!

We are getting into the anything part of Art n’ Anything in today’s episode. How exciting! I find myself living life on autopilot and not having any agency.

In this episode, we talk about living without living life, not remembering what you did this week because you got no impressions or new experiences to note.

Artist or content creator, what's the difference between them in 2022?   Featuring M.G. Tofte as our first ever podcast guest! So many of us artist have a love/hate relationship with social media. But can you be a successful artist in 2022 without a social media presence? In this episode, we talk about our experiences with apps like Instagram, TikTok and much more… Do you feel like a content creator or an artist, and how does it affect your art process and motivation to work with art?  This topic is especially important because many new and young artists put so much of themselves into their social media presence to grow their follower base and get discovered.

In this episode, we explore the difference between criticism and critique. We also look at the mindset changes that will help you receive it positively without taking it personally.
