How to Know if You’re on the Right Path

We're putting our time into places that we think we can build or we think will give us what we're looking for in life, but how do we actually know? Read more...
Greatness Through High Standards
I think if you hold yourself to high standards, and everyone around you to high standards, then you will achieve those higher standards that will then lead you to greatness.

Self Confidence is Important for Artists
I definitely think I had a lot of self confidence growing up. I feel like growing up I was taught to believe that I could literally do anything. That was so exciting and so empowering.

I definitely had that internal self confidence in me, built in me, and instilled in me growing up, which I think was really wonderful. However, at the same time when you're trying something new, that self confidence is... Read more...

What Makes Art Valuable
How it makes them feel. How a piece of artwork makes somebody feel is what determines its value to them. For example, if it takes them to a certain memory, or to a certain place, reminds them of a person, that is what you’re looking for. It has to take them somewhere.

Building Resilience
I think it’s really just about taking it one day at a time and seizing the moment and the opportunity you have.

That’s the only way to get back up and start doing what you were doing or always wanted to do. Read more...

Advice for New Creators
The internet is your best friend and I say that because you can learn everything online. Whether you use YouTube or articles on Google, people show you step by step tutorials. For example, the fashion illustrations -- I learned how to draw them online.

So I would say any question that you have, anything you want to learn, just type... Read more...
