Sudden breakthrough

I had a sudden breakthrough today concerning my artwork. I’ve always found it hard to brand it and find some sort of logo or common theme to represent it. This isn’t to say that all artists should have to brand themselves, but having some sort of consistency in your artwork/style(s) can help people relate to it and understand it better.

Today I finally created a sort of avatar to represent myself artistically. It’s a very simple avatar, but then why should it have to be complicated (just like that sentence structure)?

With this I can now finally push ahead with creating branded promotional material *sigh* and just generally feel good about my practice!

Working for mates

I was reading through the 1000 rss feeds I’d accumulate since Reading Festival and I stumbled across this post about doing work for mates. It’s all too true. So many times I’m asked by friends to do ‘a quick logo’ or a poster design, usually with little time until it has to be complete. This is why now, even with friends and family, I go through the same process I would do with everyone else.
