Rock Star Take On (your) ART
| The New Rock Star Channel
—

The New Rock Star Channel is back!
With a new format:
– 10 minute video
– no preparation

This week, the twenty-seventh video.
A Rock Star Take On (your) ART

video recorded on Tuesday 10 March 2026

In this video;

1. We’re back! 00:00
With a new episode of a Rock Star Take on;
And today the topic is (your) ART.

More specifically why the art of (non-professional) creatives, is being seen as not of value.

After this video, you will understand the very clear and immediate reason for creativity being marginalized, instead of creativity being cheered on!

2. We Need Your Art 03:50
The work of creativity and art being important is being led by Amie McNee.
You can find her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inspiredtowrite/
And her highly recommended book is: We Need Your Art (2025)

3. What makes a mature healthy industries 06:00
Before I get into why creativity is not cheered on, I want to get into a little bit of exposition on why “even” from the big picture perspective of art in general;
It is so important to have creatives making their art.

A healthy industry, is a layered one, containing different elements :
A Rock Star level – the faces of the industry, the one everybody knows.
A professional level – a good working business model every professional has access to.
An education system – there needs to be a training for 15-25 y.o. to learn the craft
An amateur level – Aha! Here we have it.

An industry without “normal people” practicing its basics, is not a healthy one.

4. Why non-professional Art and creatives are not encouraged 10:30
It is because you’re not spending any money, so the system of capitalism does not benefit from your hobby. And because you’re not socially contributing.

Not in video but example:
When you go three times a week to your local gym, this is encouraged because:
-you are spending money. You’re contributing to your local economic system
-you are contributing to the social structures around you.
Whereas when you are at home making your art, you do neither.

5. Making art is rebellion 12:22
Being a creative is a very Rock Star thing to do because there is such an anarchistic free-spirited quality to it.

Next up a Rock Star Take On
CHARISMA

It will go out on this blog.

you are either in integrity or not

You know at least two haunting daunting projects or tasks that await you.
One recent and one old.
And you can not do them, and no one would notice.

“They’re both old, and I still haven’t done them”
I would say to Suzanne 2023.
Because they are.
Although one of them has definitely cleared up a lot. It should not be such a big deal for me anymore to tackle it (it’s clearing out the basement).

And although I still agree with Suzanne 2023;
I would also argue or reassure her that the KNOWING you’re out of integrity, is really what’s doing the magic here.
Not the acting on it.

The not-being in integrity is in your sloppy, messy, annoyed, I-can’t-even, thoughts about it.
Not in the “it” itself.

In other words: I would say awareness is what brings integrity.
Not the action.

A cleared basement is out of integrity if it was attained by not attending to other more important duties.
Or if you bully your family members into keeping it clean.

It reminds me of when we lived abroad when I was a child. The children of a bunch of families regularly played outside, unsupervised.
And we were given a couple of rules, from which I remember only one, probably because we systematically broke it;
We were not supposed to turn over any rocks, because there could be snakes and scorpions underneath.

With this in mind, we took turns turning the stones, with the other children at safe distance.
The one who turned the stone, flipped it over, immediately fleeing back.
Tiptoeing we’d make our way back, to see what was there.

“We always we were always turning rocks…” I said to my mother, when we were already back in the Netherlands.

She paused then said:
“But you were careful though.”

She had never told me what to do;
She had learned me to be aware.

ABOUT THE LOST POST SERIES

I have been consistently posting “What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today” for a while now.
Starting June 2023, they found their final form as blogposts here on the Catacombe blog, pretty quickly.

But I’ve always been aware there were singular posts/ borderline poetry, still on social media, floating somewhere down my timeline.

Some at the beginning when I did not know what this series would be.
Some around the time in October/November 2023, when I lost access to this site.
And then a few in between.

And in addition to that there are the ones I did post on the blog, but whose stories revolve around things I no longer offer.
I will retrieve those too;
And give them a new story, that has the timeless quality they deserve.

Gold | 2026 03 10 | That ONE Book (start at any page)

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

I have a guilty pleasure I never told anyone.
It’s not sexual, but it is perverted.

I love it when soft values are tied to capitalist measurements.

It is a form of modern day heresy, when what we need is more respect for what is of real value, instead of willingly contaminating it with financial language.

It started when I was introduced to the concept of Erotic Capital.
I think there was even a book with that name (just checked! true!) which acknowledged that attractiveness but also sexual experience gave you “capital”. Leverage. Bargaining chips.

It’s one of the few paths where there is still economic mobility:
You can still get doors to open, if you play your cards right.

Now obviously there’s a lot to unpack here about patriarchy and how it enforces beauty standards that suppress women and women’s engagement.
But I won’t go there.

When I write I allow myself to not try to figure out the workings of thousand year old power structures, and can even enjoy the guilty pleasures I discovered in them.

Which is that beauty and sex being capital, was gasoline on my already blazing fire.

Until I snapped out of it!
What was I thinking?!
And forgot it, until the topic resurfaced again. Under a different name, but definitely for the same game.

Sexual capital.
Creative capital.
Social capital.
Sexual Power.
The Power of Seduction by Robert Greene.

And ultimately just:
Power.

Because this had been the key:
I wanted power.

It had all started in 1992, with the movie Basic Instinct featuring Sharon Stone.

I was mesmerized by her. And wanted to know what made this woman so powerful.
Not just her estimated assets of 110 million, apparently.

And it was a lot, closer to home.

⌛️📈📋Do THIS, every Friday | CREATOR series w. troll dolls (new video)

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

new video on YouTube:
click here to see it
-> https://youtu.be/JQJk3_zTS98

This week episode 5:
“⌛️📈📋Do THIS, every Friday”

In CREATOR we make our art/content, but you can plan anything with this system.

Welcome to The New Rock Star Channel.
We use the analogy of planning one week of a rock star tour, where the choice for different gigs symbolize the art your post on your social media.

The only rule for these videos is:
– no preparation
Because any process you don’t know by heart, belongs in the trash bin!

video recorded on Monday 9 March 2026

In this video;

1. Welcome to a new episode in the CREATOR series 00:00
And fingers crossed it’s a one-taker!
Because this series always turns out to be far more complicated than I anticipate…

2. Types of planning 00:20
Content Planning?
Not quite!
Because as a creative your planning is different to the content planning of a business.

For you, improvement is not in a (better) Content Planning, but in your:
Production Planning.

I distinguish two types of creators:
the CREATOR
and
the MESSENGER
Both will be discussed in this video.

NEW 2026:
Want to work together on this?
The CREATOR and MESSENGER now have matching programs.
You can find them both here:
https://catacombenijmegen.com/current-offer/

Topics in this video:

– The Week Review (Do THIS, every Friday!)
What you could be doing every week.
The different elements are:
🥳 REVIEW
🧐 RETROSPECT
🦸🏻‍♂️SELECT
📆PLANNING

– The MESSENGER
Introduction to this different type of creator, who does not work with a content calendar and whose week review will also look different.

3. THE PREVIOUS WEEK (your recap) 05:20
🦸🏻‍♂️SELECT
Your week started with selecting what pieces you wanted to post this week.
Your ideal output.
💻🎸🎨🎬 CREATE
You’ve spent the week creating this.
But!
💡 You got a lot of ideas
And
💻🎸🎨🎬created two extra pieces

4. REVIEW 12:12
What you created
This is the first step, and name bearer of your Friday review

Q: What will you be reviewing?
A: The selection of:
– everything you posted last week (what’s “on the balcony”, our social media)
+
– everything you already created (it’s on the dollhouse topfloor in the Dome of Done), but will not be posted until next week.

The laminated cards I use under the trolls on the topfloor (balcony and Dome of Done), can be collected and provide an overview of everything that we created.

5. RETROSPECTIVE 15:33
This is not “What” you have created, but HOW you have created.

Anything:
– unexpected
– or that failed
– or that was a success
Can be learned from.
Every lesson improves your creative production process.

6. 🦸🏻‍♂️SELECT 18:22
The pieces you want in your content/ posting calendar.

This is also the point where you may consider coming up with a recipe;
So instead of inventing the wheel every week, make a blueprint, assigning different days to different types of content.
Having a rhythm to your week, makes creating so much easier.
It takes the guesswork out of it, if you know what to make.

The trolls/ pieces you want to be creating this week, go into the Room of Ready on the first floor.

7. The Planning 21:50
When are you going to create these pieces?
By far the most complicated step!
In Scrum, the system underpinning this process, the planning step takes the longest.

You do not have to plan out your whole week, just the first few days so you can get started.

As you go through your week, the term priority and prioritization are important.
You’re in a dance with your pieces of content, moving around what needs to go first and what can wait until later.

The art of creating with limited time, unexpected things, etc, is one that grows overtime.

Reviewing pays off in learning lessons every week;
And making every week easier and more pleasurable.

8. The MESSENGER 24:05
Introduction to this new type of creator, which I will be highlighting and telling more about in future videos.

The next CREATOR series with troll dolls
will go out on this blog.

brush yourself off and start again

Compliment yourself for parting with the old
For staying the course, no matter how far lost you got

Celebrate, because today you are exactly where you need to be

I have to say, I was a bit stunned at how much I needed to hear this message, 2.5 years after writing those opening words…

As if I pulled a super-matching oracle card from a deck I do not own, or Instagram served me a post from an unknown account.
And I saved it as background picture for my phone:
“My luck! This is just what I need!” 

Because the times they are achanging.
And I am at that point where you have your swimming cap and goggles on, at the edge of the pool.
Taking a very deep, slightly hurdled and emotional breath, knowing this is the only way forward.

The management summary is this:
My work will be limited to 40h a week, including content creation.
And this is new.

My creativity has always come first, but because of this my workhours have gotten completely and utterly out of hand.
In particular if I include what I will call:
“Creative loss.”
Which is being “sidetracked” by my creative mind, which cannot function in a minimalist productivity environment.

Creativity needs wandering, and in my case that wandering was often online.
The tabs on my computer have been like windows to the world, and I no longer want that;

I want my window to be 100% connected to real people!

And then, maybe, a tiny bit to education too. But very targeted, very specific.
And within the 8 hours.

And at 18.00?
This window will close.
On weekends?
Dito.
To give more breathing room to my social life, but also;
To start curating my 20 year big body of work.

*soft sigh*

A task of Herculean proportions.

And a journey that starts like all the others, with a single step or an insecure dive.

And more often than not;
Alone.

Journey | 2026 03 03 | That ONE Book (start at any page)

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

I’m happy I didn’t know how long this would take. Not what it was, nor why it happened. I was free to brush it off as a temporary deviance from the normal, attributed the common causes and labeled in a way that normalized it.

But part of me knew it wasn’t.
I was being separated from life itself.
And it hurt.

The first years were filled with connections falling away, that had been difficult for a longer time.
Change that was not necessarily my own initiative, but that I could quickly recognize as being the best for all parties, once they had happened.
There was a certain inevitability to them.

After that another few years, where the relationships closest to me, either fell away or changed at their core.
These were the most disturbing and discouraging years, and yet I still thought I could save something, needed healing, or that these events were comorbid to a crisis or problem that had a name and a solution.
They were not.

Being stripped of all my relationships was what those years were for.

And then finally, as if taken away by unseen forces, all people who had been loyal to me were taken away.
As if a soundproof wall was placed between us.
We could still visit each other, but were no longer connected.

None of this was chosen.
As far as I know I was happy, and I had consistently been happy for as long as I could remember.
I also did not have any urges to glow up my life or do a makeover!

If it had been up to me, nothing major would have changed.
And from my point of view, no result would have been worth this cost.
Yet it happened.

And I am determined to squeeze it for every lesson.

Because this was never ever chosen.
But I will alchemize every horror into gold.

Rock Star Take On FAILURE
| The New Rock Star Channel
—

The New Rock Star Channel is back!
With a new format:
– 10 minute video
– no preparation

And I failed at keeping it at 10 minutes but that’s completely on topic! 🤗

This week, the twenty-sixth video.
A Rock Star Take On FAILURE

video recorded Friday 27 February 2026

In this video;

1. We’re back! 00:00
With a new episode of a Rock Star Take on;
And today the topic is FAILURE
Something which I got to know intimately, these last couple of months, because I failed so many times when filming these videos.
I have a whole newly acquired stack of failures, under my belt!

2. Failure versus Productivity 00:56
Failure, more often than not, actually translates as:
Failure to be productive.
In a world obsessed with productivity, failing is considered wasteful.
Our shame of failure stems from fear of being rejected by society.

3. Failure is an inherent part of creativity 02:56
Insecurity, taking risks and starting something without knowing where it is gonna go, are all ingrained in being creative or being an artist.

Productivity demands the absence of failure.
Creativity dances with it.

4. “Failure”? Can still be success! 04:55
Last week I lost a lot of hours to studying a topic that did not have anything to do with my work nor with my creativity.
So all those hours, I “failed” at being productive.
And yet!
When creating my week review, I realized these hours had brought me insights into myself and about the last past years, which were extremely valuable.

So in retrospect, those “lost” hours had an incredible revenue or outcome!

An outcome I would never have had, had I stuck with the narrow definition of success.
It required just plunging in head first, not knowing the outcome.

To work with me, setting up your own week reviews, look if the CREATOR offer is still up:
https://catacombenijmegen.com/current-offer/
CREATOR helps content creators and other artists achieve their creative goals.

5. Recap: 2 big takeaways 07:22
⚠️ beware of productivity forcing us into a narrowminded idea of what success is
❓ Let the “failure” sink in a bit, before you label it. It could turn out to be an unexpected success.

6. Creating on the cusp of failure 09:03
Art really needs you to be in that dance with failure!
Productivity and getting the job done, is the rule for normal life.

But your best art, is the one you could fail.

Next up a Rock Star Take On
ART

It will go out on this blog.

“The world is changed.
I feel it in the water.
I feel it in the earth.
I smell it in the air.
Much that once was, is lost.
For none now live who remember it”

from: Fellowship of the Ring

For those of us who still remember the thrill of putting a cassette tape back together, winding it up with a pencil;
But also for those who burned their own CDs.

The ones who experienced weekends that stretched into eternities.
Yet were always closed with that astringent Sunday night.

Were hit by the single spark that turned a peer into a lover.
All ingredients had been there all along, but you didn’t see it until the opportunity was served to you on a platter.
An unexpected moment of sweetness.

We have a choice to make whether we bother to recreate these recipes, now that we may still be able to find the ingredients.

Because the rich, tactile, physical experience of being our own sovereign being without being connected through our phones;
It will not return by itself.

But retrieval will come at tremendous cost.
We will not get a good deal on this, and be paying full price.

What are you willing to sacrifice, to gain the full flavor of your life back?

Your connection to the digital world?
Series you have been able to make smalltalk with?
Being up to date on the news?

Recording your life as if it’s a performance?

Because I suspect it’s all still there under the watery surface and the stale overcooked pulp.

The delicacy of the moments that feel like a lifetime.
The transitory, feeding us tender bites that melt on our tongue.
The fumes penetrating our clothes.

Will you leave behind the life that forced you to consume so shallow?
Your body and all its senses starving.
And you know what will happen if you fail.
Then this will be what life tastes like, until the end of your days.

Or will you start making proper meals, once more?

Lesson | 2026 02 24 | That ONE Book (start at any page)

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

It is never in the doing of the thing.
Not in the having, not in the seeing, not in the measuring, not in the actual experience, not in the validation, the accolades, the praise or the approval.

It, the dream, the goal, the new life of unicorns and rainbows exists only in the inner-world.
And sometimes we will see it reflected in the outer, and sometimes we will not.

You may have heard of the idea that your thoughts create your life.
And we may have different opinions on the extend of this, which is cool. I’m not even sure what my opinion is on that, to be honest.
But still, we can agree to disagree, if needed.

However, what I will tell you with utmost conviction, and I would be annoyingly persistent on this because I believe your life could one day be dependent on it, so what I will tell you is this:
The good can come if it already existed inside of you.

No outside power will force feed you your blessings and you would not be able to digest them anyway.
But most of all, there is absolutely no way you (or I) would be able to hold on to them.

In the unlikely case we would receive good fortune that we do not have the internal soil for to plant it into, symbol of our fertile consciousness that is ready to welcome these blessings;
It cannot root and will evaporate and disappear.

A long time ago, I went on a quest to develop my sexuality.

I found a guide on spiritual sexuality for women and it immediately shot root.
I understood this idea of who I would “become” if I started living it.

When the journey ended, I looked back realizing I had taken the long route.
There had been nothing I needed to do.

That one single moment when I embraced the idea;
I was already there.

In CREATOR we make our art/content, but you can plan anything with this system.

Welcome to The New Rock Star Channel.
We use the analogy of planning one week of a rock star tour, where the choice for different gigs symbolize the art your post on your social media.

The only rule for these videos is:
– no preparation
Because any process you don’t know by heart, belongs in the trash bin!

video recorded on Monday 23 February 2026

In this video;

1. Welcome to a new episode in the CREATOR series 00:00
Today we’re going to tackle two situations which you may know from your own creative practice:
– the concept of content planning
Which is not popular with creatives, but here me out 😉
– handling things that have a long runtime
For example a traditional concert tour that takes 12-18 months of preparation

2. Rock your big projects example 1: Planning a tour 01:00
With our very modern Tourmanager🦸🏻‍♂️ Daddy
Who only plans one week ahead for his band!
Because it really illustrates how we can plan our bigger pieces of content.

First we walk through the traditional process of 12-18 months of planning a tour;
And then we compare it to a process where you only plan for 1 week ahead.

3. Rock your big projects example 2: Planning a book 06:09
First we walk through the traditional process of 12-18 months of planning a book;
And then we compare it to a process where you would only plan smaller pieces.
And avoid many of the risks tied to projects that have long runtimes.

The CREATOR system encourages you to break up big projects into smaller increments that deliver both you and your audience value sooner, and reduce risk.

4. Content planning 10:16
Why it so hated, how to appreciate it, and when content planning will save your art.

Regular content planning misses the element of creativity, and is typically setup to function for businesses who want their content to drive sales.
Not for artists who want to create a body of work, or build an audience.

5. Planning done right 11:15
Plan based on what YOU value, in a broader and personal sense and not automatically what makes the money.

F.e.:
“What are three posts that have the biggest artistic impact?”
“Have borderline disruptive, rebellious quality?”

This planning system can work in favor of your own creative agenda, and you do not have to see yourself as a work horse.

6. Bigger or more complicated content REQUIRES planning
Flow based creativity is amazing, but bigger pieces of content require planning.

Knowing how to plan, can be a wonderful addition to giving yourself free rein with your smaller, easier pieces.
Planning broadens your range of what you can create.
