The Beginning

I didn’t grow up dreaming of being an artist.

I didn’t know anything about painting.

I was just looking for a way to make some money on the side.

One day, I asked an AI assistant for ideas.

It told me something simple:

“Start painting. It’s profitable.”

Most people would’ve ignored it.

I didn’t.

I drove to Home Depot and grabbed a drop cloth, some paint, and a few brushes.

I came home with zero expectations—only curiosity.

And then something happened.

In two days, I created ten canvases.

On the third day, I finished twelve.

No formal training.

No plan.

Just instinct.

I uploaded the pieces to Saatchi Art, not knowing if anyone would care.

But that moment changed everything.

This is where the story begins—

where raw experiment turned into momentum,

where doubt turned into confidence,

where CUSS was born.
