‣

What the hell is this?

It's what we say it is: a Brutally Honest Oracle.

Simple and clear.

You ask, the Oracle answers with brutal honesty every fortnight.

No filters.

‣

Why via email?

Because we like safe havens.

And we're sick of social media.

Email lets us keep our dignity.

‣

What's the mailing list like?

Brutally honest.

Sometimes contradictory.

Always informed and experienced.

The curious 🤔

The contradictory 🔀

Believers in good luck 🍀

Those who want to change 🔄

Those who fear themselves 😱

Those who'd rather listen than be right 👂

Those who KNOW muses are real 🌟

‣

Who's the Oracle NOT for?

We ignore whiners, party poopers, trolls, the easily offended, and pessimists.

Hey, nothing personal. They just confuse complaints with questions 🤷🏻‍♂️

‣

Who answers the questions?

Our team of coaches and mentors.

We leverage collective intelligence to reach insights otherwise impossible.

You may get several answers to the same question.

There'll be delightful chaos, contradiction, and paradox. It's an Oracle!

The answers are anonymous, so don’t get starstruck. It could be Jeremy Mann answering, but you'll never know. Ha! 🤯

‣

What kind of questions can I ask?

Anything about using fear and vulnerability to make art.

Anything about the creative process.

Anything about how to be an artist.

Anything about art education.

…An honest answer requires an honest question. So, be brutally sincere.

‣

How many questions can I ask?

As many as you want, one after another.

Just don’t be annoying, use common sense.

If you have many questions, here's the formula:

Make a list.
Arrange it: most important at the top.
Send us question number 2.

‣

When will my question be answered?

Don’t know for sure.

Don't rush it, this isn't pizza delivery.

We don’t answer chronologically; we group questions by theme. Your question might not get answered immediately.

‣

Is it free?

Yes, it's a steal.

‣

What if I don't like it?

Well... Joining the mailing list is free. Leaving it is free too.

If you doubt our team's ability to help artists, don't subscribe 😘

‣

When will I get the first email?

When you join the list, you'll get an email with free books worth gold, and we'll tell you what the mailing list is about.

You'll get Oracle answers about every fortnight.

‣

Can I join the mailing list without asking anything?

Sure.

If you just want to read the Oracle's answers without posing a question, sign up for the mailing list here:

I have read and agree to the data protection information and privacy policy. We do not sell your data.

‣

Are you going to try to sell me something?

Absolutely.

We want you to join the list for two reasons:

To show you what we can do for you.
To try to get you to join Quarantine.

If you can't handle this terrible idea, don't join the list.

‣

So is it worth it?

No doubt about it.

Unless you're a Steppenwolf who doesn’t care about connecting emotionally with anyone. If you're that kind of person, then no.

But if you're an artist who wants to connect and grow, this is definitely for you.

Oh, and just so you know, someone didn’t vibe with the oracle and dropped this gem:

Now, it’s up to you what to do with that.

‣
