Wait! I thought this was a art blog…. Don’t worry I just wanted to share some of my more important Instagram posts with you.
Creativity can’t be studied or copied, its a gift.
I always felt that I had found my calling as a artist. When people tell me that they love my art it just tells me that I made the right choice……Yes, you can study art and go to college for it but all you really need to succeed is patience, passion and courage. Be patient, art takes time. Be passionate, art needs emotions. It’s a part of your personality! Have courage. Creativity takes courage. Their will be haters, people will bring you down. Sometimes that person is you. Ignore it and start creating
Do I 100% absolutely need these things?
Do you need a “niche” – first off a “niche” is what will help your artwork stand out and make people recognize you as a artist. Should you have one…. yes. It is easier to get noticed. Do I have one? Not really, all of my work is creatied digitally, see more about that in this blog post.
Do you need a schedule – creativity and ideas don’t have one, they show up when they want. Be ready to write them down. Do I have a schedule? again, not really. I write blog posts about once a week and upload new art in my shops after I create a new work and have it ready. The only thing that is actually constant is when I post on social media.
Do you need to go to art school – no, you can be a self taught artist. I say I’m a self taught artist because I created my shops, art and website without art school. I was going to college for graphic design at the time, while this was my own personal project. Art school can be beneficial with teaching new techniques and it depends on what you want out of your art career.
Thank you for reading.
