For me, I always and still am interested in one thing. Telling story about my life. Whether it is about my day, life or meaningful moment in my life. Or my thoughts in an Instagram post or writing a blog. Or telling and showing my life through video. Short or long, emotional or serious. But with a story.
That is what makes me who I am. And I believe that this will be what will end up as a brand. One day - definitely.
Knowing that every minute and even second can make a big difference in a long term, every thing I do or don't do counts.
I film one short part for my YouTube channel, I sketch 5 minutes a day, take a picture and post it on Instagram with a pretty large text. I experiment with social media. I at least from beginning try to communicate with strangers. Showing my personality and thoughts, I try to be as productive as I can.
These is some of plenty ways I am trying in order to accomplish my goals. And I am not afraid of failure. That is how we learn and move on. At least that is what I do.
Mostly on my Instagram I was posting my art. But then I realized that it is not exactly what I want. I started to post not only my art (witch I should say honestly is hard, because of pressure), but I started to post pictures with myself too.
A lot of people still say to me that it is not how it will work. If I want show myself than I need to make another account. But my answer is - this is not who I am.
I want to make art, but also show a person behind it. In art it is still something new. But I risk. I get even less likes because of that. But it is not my goal.
My goal is to show how it is to be an artist. Human. Person with interests. And not every artist is introvert and do not like to communicate a lot.
Making art is great, but to make not only my art as a brand but myself too is even better. This is my biggest goal.
So far I feel micro progress. And still it is better. Being an artist have taught me one important thing in life. Be patient. May sound weird, but when you need to learn basics or human anatomy being patient is the only way how to learn that. Also, that taught that to get macro progress you have to get at first micro progress. That is why I do not stress about less likes than others have or attention. While I studied art in my bedroom on my own, art taught me a lot more. Not just to be patient, but also that every minute and day I put into work will make a huge difference in a long term. And that is what always keeps me going. Even if i do not see macro now. And
I just begin.
With love,
