Business two is a completely different world. Art. I built an entire art ecosystem, and I call it plate to paddock.
Everything in one place: art suppliers, original art, someone to hang and display it for you, start to finish. One place that has never existed properly. Now it does, and it makes money from every direction at once.
The artists
Pay a low membership fee, no commission on their sales. They keep everything they earn, which, if you know anything about how galleries treat artists, is rare.
The suppliers
Framers, delivery people, installers. They join and pay to be in the directory. Anyone who touches the art has a category, and if they do not have one yet, I build them one with Claude, same day.
The grid
An art protection system that helps stop work being scraped by bots and screenshots. Artists have had their work taken for years and everyone just accepted it. I did not. I built the fix.
This is where 26 years as a working fine artist meets the tool. I know exactly what artists get done to them, because it was done to me. So when I sat down with Claude, I was not guessing at the problem. I was building the alternative I always wished existed, and Claude built the engine that made it real.
