I wish to ride no clout but to share what has kept me going as an artist, eapecially when anxiety takes over:No one’s original. Artists are inspired and influenced by people, places, nature, books, music and other types of art. Don’t drown inside your own bubble. Use everything that the world gifts you to create... AND CREATE FOR YOURSELF. Not for likes, for hype, for fame. When you create for yourself above all else, you stay true to who you are as an artist. Pinterest. Facebook pages. Instagram accounts. All concepts are available with a simple search and click of a finger. Your responsibility is to make sure you use it TO TELL YOUR OWN STORY. After all, NO ONE EVER MADE A DIFFERENCE BY BEING LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. --
