Never let anyone define your work.
Never let anyone define your work.
And if you're a woman reading this --- let me rephrase and say --
Never let a man define your work.
I will admit I am guilty of letting this happen. But never again. But really -- will our work really reflect the vision in your mind as long as other people's visions are in the way?
To me, an artist is at his or her best when left alone in their natural state of creativity.
If I meddled with that creativity, it wouldn't be them would it?
This applies to all types of work.
I hope this at least stands out in my own work.
Signing off.
