My work has seriously been suffering so far this year. Or at least it feels that way to me. I know that it's not awful but it doesn't feel like particularly anything to me which is just about the worst thing possible for artist I think. I had a really great talk with Eleni last night and it made me feel a lot better. I've decided to drop my concentration and just take classes I want to take before it's too late. I'm going to take Intro to Fibers and possibly another painting class.
I'm struggling with my Illustration work because I'm not making things that relate back to me at all. They're not my style or my taste and that needs to change. I think the right way to get back on track is to find the
right work that inspires me and just go for things like I used to. I definitely stopped taking chances lately and it's put a huge damper on my work to the point where I feel like I have no real artistic vision.
I loved the work on the third floor of Fox that was up up until today. I think it might've been Juniors' work from last year in The Illustrated book. It was literally all amazing and so inspiring. I also just found this artist which a
Illustration Mundo said was redefining art nouveau and the portrait of the woman. Her website is awful but her work is great. I especially love her earlier work. Recently she's been doing these anime-esque landscapes or concept art that I don't quite love as much.
