Less IS More
Making More Out Of Less
NOTE: Apologies for accidentally sending TWO emails out yesterday. One of which was a little too NSFW for some. Several people chose to unsubscribe. Oops.
Iām human and make mistakes. Going forward, Iāll be sending fewer emails.
Every other day seems reasonable, right?
I think of Collide Press On Substack as more of a blog. As such I welcome people to visit whenever they want. The email newsletter is evolving into a Readerās Digest version of the blogā¦with links and other things that catch my eye and imagination.
Thank you for your patienceā¦and for being part of the Collide Press Crew!
Clint
P.S. Going forward, all NSFW photos and videos will be link-only.
Feel free to follow them. Or not.
On my day off the other day, I doodle and noodled (and napped) on ways to create MORE by doing LESS. Hereās a quick summary of what I came up with:
LESS SHOP
When I started Collide Press with my friends, we made HUNDREDS of original art and design works. At one point, we were selling on SIX different platforms at the same time. It was a lot of work. But it wasnāt until I began adding Classic Art and Vintage Photos to the mix (and getting more involved with YouTube) that things got interesting. Now that my friends are off on their own projects and Iām a one-man band, I think itās time to āsimplifyā the Shop. A lot. Starting today.LESS SOCIAL MEDIA
Given my feelings about Meta-Static and Xitter, this oneās easy.LESS THREADLESS
If you didnāt know I also had an āArtist Shopā on Threadless, youāre not alone. I stopped promoting it months ago. Great products and customer service. But not the greatest platform to use. Long story short, I disabled all the listings and will only be selling through CollidePress.com (powered by Fourthwall)ā¦until further notice.LESS VERSIONS
While making two versions of recent videos has helped me to learn some new editing techniques, Iād rather put those skills into making NEW works. So I may do promos of Substack videos for YouTube (or embed YouTube videos on Substack), but my days of doing two complete videos are over. For now anyway.
Iām probably forgetting a few things, but you get the idea: Accomplishing MORE by doing LESS.
As for the newsletter, less is also moreā¦probably going to every other day and with a streamlined format.
Thanks for reading!

MORE FROM COLLIDE PRESS
Ko-Fi + Linktree + Shop + Storefront + YouTube
I support you in this decision. It's all in line with my concern for you to pace yourself, cut back and have more rest periods. I actually think that it will lead to more productivity (in quality rather than volume). xx
I'm a bit confused as I somehow missed any email that was a little too NSFW. No worries though.
As for your new method of producing videos, will you make a real one for here, then delete pics to make a YT-rated version? Or have i missed something rely basic here?
