Encouragement to Take a Risk with your Art

When you share you’re art, you’re sharing a piece of yourself. I think so often we are critical of ourselves and our art and that might hinder from moving forward with promoting our work.

When I’ve submitted my work to a magazine company which I do regularly, there have been times that they chose to publish pages from my art journal that I most likely wouldn’t have. That old saying, ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ rings true. With that being said, I want to encourage you to share your art, don’t listen to naysayers, and move forward in spreading color and your beauty in this world. Be brave and share yourself.

I’m a big fan of Moo cards and have used them for years. My Moo cards have worked well for me and served as a great branding tool. I’ve smack run out of my Moo cards so have placed a new order. I went with a regular size (but rounded corners) and by-passed the minis this go round. I am excited about the design of the card and looking forward to sharing with you. They are on their way to me as I type.

Moo recently sent out an article about Illustrator Matthew Frame. I wanted to pass this on to you as I find it encouraging and a good read. An inspirational article that encourages artists to put themselves out there. While many of us don’t have space or finances for our own studio, I do believe in the great importance of attempting to create often whether it’s doodling, practicing calligraphy, painting, crocheting or whatever your niche might be.

    This is so timely! After a few years of having a Simple Scrapper membership, I recently submitted 2 layouts for their membership magazine. Whether or not they get published, I was proud of myself for finally taking the leap!

      Tanya,
      I am so proud of you. Yes, it about the journey! I’m grateful you’ve taken that leap and I know others will be blessed as you share your life and craft with them.
