Escapee Speaks:

How to Find Your Own Style

Do You Take Enough Chances?

Or, do you find yourself working from a place of fear when creating an Illustration or a Painting?  Are you afraid of making mistakes, bad choices, or wrong turns?

If so, today I encourage you to take renewed ownership of your work, and steer it in any direction you choose.  Remember that it all comes from you.  Remember that you only have this moment to create the way you have always dreamed of creating.  Give yourself and your art the greatest gift of all by taking chances, pushing limits, and breaking rules.

Be reckless.

Be bold.

Be brave.

After all, that is how personal styles are truly created.

By declaring yourself an explorer, you will allow yourself the freedom to live within your work, and to let your personal truth rise from it in the form of inspiration and beauty.

Nothing will please you more.

Escapee has spoken.

    I find the information you put on your site invaluable. Thank you for being a beacon of finely illustrated light.

    I agree, this stuff is all very inspiring. I find the article about the importance of working on “Personal Projects” when you spend too much time on client work is useful, too. And it applies to more than client work. I am at college, and as much as we are given free reign on our “self initiated project”, once you’ve chosen your theme you have to stick with it, and I find myself having all sorts of new and interesting and diverse ideas that I can’t use in the SIP, so time management is even more important if I don’t want to feel stifled by the project work.
    It’s all about balance.

    I can’t thank you enough for putting together this site. I have just found it today and from the little I have read, it will be a true source of knowledge and inspiration. I am a student and have recently made a career change at 43, to become a web and Interactive designer ( scary ).
    Thanks again for sharing :)
