.....sketches, creations, thoughts and inspiration.....
1. distinctive style

I was looking around the internet about this years' Surtex show in NYC. This post interested me because of her insight regarding distinctive style:


**As an artist it's imperative that you create work in a style that becomes you.**

If you do artwork that's all over the place and that doesn't have a look that can be traced to you, you can forget ever finding steady work. For this year's show I saw my art being divided in three ways that really stood out to me...

I designed three separate business cards so that people could take whichever card was going to remind them of what they were interested in my art for. It turns out that this idea was pure gold and I got a huge response from people who would methodically look through the three cards and then take one for their ever growing packet of artist materials.
Brilliant!

Clearly, this needs to be a focus of mine.
