Feeling stuck? Lost? Are you an artist and need a boost?

Be a part of this big art!

Get involved NOW – launch in person in October in Derby, but the Kickstarter is active from now until August 8.

This really has the potential to change lives and make huge differences, especially if you already know artists or have taught creatives or coached or been part of a collective –

Back my project now – the window closes very soon! Click to see a video about the project and why it’s important.

ARTEUS.

This deck of 52 laminated cards in a special tin are designed for play, inspiration, affirmation, motivation and conversation.

Do you know somebody who struggles with accepting their arty skills? Wish you could do a small thing to help others tap into the joy they are capable of? Give the thing that will ignite the power within.

Splay them out, shuffle them, throw them in the air and select just one, at any time, to spark your magic.

Packed full of ideas, advice, thoughts and skills harvested over years of my own creativity and teaching – This is the stuff to get anyone started, at any stage in their journey, any age, with prompts you can deploy straight away.

Discover and unleash the artist in you.

Carry them with you, pop the tin in your pocket, have them on your nightstand for a morning hit, gift them to the artist in your life.

Pick a card at random… and act on your art.

Use it to focus your mind and reflect on your practise.

Each card has a unique custom illustration by me on one side, with specific ideas to reframe what you do best. On the reverse, words to power up your passion and help you to simply St-art.

This set is ideal for any artist struggling to know where to begin, someone who has talent but simply cannot see it for themselves… and it’s already been said during my research that they could be applied in any creative field.

My project will ensure that more and more artists will be able to unlock their potential.

The success of this Kickstarter will mean that I can begin to make them available worldwide on multiple platforms, faster than I could have done alone… by beginning with a First Edition run and then enough to make them available to any and every artist who needs them.

You can invest in a bespoke party with me and packs of cards for your friends… or simply secure a ticket for my VIP launch and take a look before you even buy.

By being a part of this art and becoming a Patron, you are enabling them to be put into production and helping so many with a beautiful butterfly effect that will spread their power across the globe.

The Derby Museum of Making will be the setting for the big reveal of the first edition, in this historical spot that celebrates makers & artists of the past and future – on October 23, 2024.

Makers find your #mojo. Painters unearth your purpose. Creatives take control.

The most generous monetary donation I can create will be given to Derby Museums from the launch of these – a percentage of what we can create here will go towards the future makers of Derby!
