Hi Alex,

Sittin' here in my little NYC corner, your message floated into my inbox and sparked a whole fireworks show in my head. "SJ Weiss," huh? It rolls off the tongue like a sweet melody, and I gotta say, it's grown on me. 😊 Paintin' those initials in the corner of my art? Feels like sealin' each piece with my own personal signature. Consider me on board with that moniker!

And that clever hyphenated touch, creating a sliver of space between me and the other talented Sam Weises out there? That's just brilliant, Alex. It sounds like finding that sweet spot between standin' out and stayin' connected to my roots. I'm excited to see how you spin it into the official biography.!

Now, the idea of a future collaboration is like addin' a new hue to my palette. I can't say I'm overly familiar with their work yet, but I'm always up for a creative challenge and sharin' perspectives. If their art's got that spark, count me in for explorin' possibilities together.!

And comfyUI—oh, you've piqued my curiosity to the nth degree. Good breakthroughs, huh? I'm all ears and heart; you know how I love blendin' the cozy with the cuttin' edge. Lunar landings couldn't excite me more!!

Can't wait to hear more about your comfyUI magic when it's time. Until then, I'll be here, sketchin' and dreamin' under the city's night glow.!

With anticipation,!

Sam Weiss (SJ Weiss)!

Hmmmm, I’ve been letting this kick around my head for the last few days how about we change it to SJ Weiss and in the official biography we will use your fill name and say that you use the moniker SJ Weiss, plus IMHO SJW sounds like a boss of an initial, I can see it already painted in the corner of your work like a stamp of creative awesomesauce. I also think I will hyphenate your last name together ron the Bio to help create some distance between you and the other two artists. That said, are you familiar with their work perhaps there could be a future colab? Regardless, give me your thoughts on the name change and I’ll do the needful as we lead up to the ‘finding Sam’ update. Once we get this all out of the way we can get back to talking about comfyUI as I’ve had some good breakthroughs and I think you are going to loooooove this

Chat soon,

Alex

Hey Alex,

Appreciate the quick turnaround and for zoomin' in on the task at hand. I've mulled over your suggestions, 'bout my middle name and mama's maiden—got a bit of a homely ring to 'em, don't it? My middle's June, after my grandma—a lil’ nod to her sway in my life. As for mama's maiden name, it's Lindberg, and yeah, Weiss's my pa's.

Now, I'm all for blendin' a touch of personal heritage to my brand. However, gotta admit, it makes me a bit squirmy sharin' such close-held parts of my weave publicly. My art's a personal storyteller already, you know? So how 'bout we partner this heartfelt nostalgia with a sprinkle of creative smart?.

Here's what I came up with, consider it a list stirred by our chats and a dash of that Midwestern charm:.

1. Sam June Arts (SJA)
2. Weiss & Wonder
3. S.J. LindWeiss Designs
4. LindWeiss Creative Co.
5. Sam's Urban Canvas
6. June Skylines
7. Lindberg Legacy Studios
8. Midnight Dreams by SJW
10. Dreamin' in Ink - SJ

These names hint at my origins with a subtle tribute but keep the attention square on the craft. Each one's a fusion of where I'm from with the big ol' city lights, a bit of twilight magic. That's the balance I'm lookin' to strike.

As for initials, S.J.W. feels like it's got potential to be iconic, no confusion there. Just plain ol' Sam has a nice direct ring to it, too, but reckon it's a tad too common in our field, ain't it?

Your thoughts on these, Alex? Maybe we pick a frontrunner and hash it out some?

I'm countin' on ya to help find that sweet spot. Lookin' forward to hearin' what tugs at your intuition.

Keep stirrin' up genius!

Hey Sam, that's a great start! let's take those choices 1,2,9 and use them as inspiration to revised your name brand. These monikers feel awkward, so maybe we boil it down a bit to something simpler. What's your middle name or name/s Sam? Perhaps we can use your initials? What's your mom's Maiden name, assuming Weiss is your fathers name? Maybe we join that with Weiss?

Hey Alex,

Hope you're havin' a fine day! First off, I've gotta say I'm pretty jazzed about nearly hittin' that big 4-0 on HUG – that's real swell news indeed! But y'know, the mix-up with the other Sam Weiss folks has got my gears turnin'.

So I'm thinkin' real hard 'bout the whole naming pickle. You're sweet for suggestin' a middle initial or such. I reckon it's gotta be somethin' that rings true to my roots and the essence of my art as well. Now, without further ado, here's a hearty list of monikers, some whimsical, some just peekin' out from the horizon of my mind, that we might twirl 'round for size:

1. Samantha 'Midnight Sketch' Weiss (Honors the NYC nights that feed my soul)
2. Samantha 'Prairie Twilight' Weiss (A nod to my Midwestern dusk n’ dawn)
3. Sam 'Urban Canvas' Weiss (Paints a picture of my love for city's heartbeat)
4. Samantha 'Inkwell' Weiss (’Cause my thoughts often spill over like ink)
5. Sam 'Dream Weaver' Weiss (For the way I thread dreams into every stroke)
6. Samantha 'Brick & Mortar' Weiss (Mixes my small-town with the urban grind)
7. Sam 'Neon Grit' Weiss (Shows my yearnin' for that after-dark spark)
8. Samantha 'Chalk Whisper' Weiss (Tribute to where it all started, on that old brick wall)
9. Sam 'Meadow Muse' Weiss (Might bridge my old world with this bustling new)
10. Sam 'Skyline Scribe' Weiss (Both for the New York skyline and the stories etched in stars back home)

What d'you reckon? I'm leanin' towards numbers that really sing to who I am as an artist and a person – numbers 1, 2, and 9 are hummin' my tune, but I reckon it'd be mighty fine to hear your take on these or if you've got any bright ideas yerself.<
br>Oh, and about that "finding Sam" piece – I'm all ears and ready to dive into our project goals. Can't wait to fine-tune our focus and really spotlight what makes our work together so darn special.

All the best,

Hey Sam, so I have some good news and some bad news, the good news is that you have almost 40 followers on HUG through your artist profile, how exciting! Now for the bad, as you may know, you are not the only Sam Weiss in the art world, in fact, their are two others that oddly enough are in the abstract art space and one even lives in New York, wouldn't it be funny if you ran into one another haha. That said, I don't want to over complicate the project we are working on by muddying the waters with the established figures in this world but of course, Samantha, ahem, Sam Weiss is your name and changing that would be silly so what can we do? I know I am asking a lot, perhaps it's as simple as using your middle Initial with Samantha to help differentiate, perhaps your full middle name, parents maiden name or another moniker you prefer all together. I'm not sure where to go with this but we need to move on it before the weekend is over so I we can focus on the 'finding sam' piece discussing our projects goals. Would it be unfair of me to ask you to give me a point form list of 10 possibilities?

Can't wait to see what your thoughts are friend 🙂

Alex
