I’ve been an artist for over 20 years working on many freelance projects. It’s been a thrill to see other people see their commissions come to life or my own visions spring from the screen and take on a life of their own. Now however, times have put a bit of damper on things. It’s not so much the sales, but the ambience behind my spark of inspiration. Perhaps that’s an awkward phrase. I’ve got a case of artist’s block and it hasn’t gone away. It’s only been this last year that I do have other projects gearing up that I’ll enjoy sharing with people, and a few more commissions came out of the woodwork, but I don’t think it’s because of my reaching a point of market saturation or even a 10% commercial shift - there is a word for this level. Can’t think of it right now.
I suppose right now I am going to have to do my best to tread water, get to my boat - and chill until the next wave of inspiration changes my perspective.
Ciao for now All.
