I encourage artists to write an "Anti-Art World Resume" that includes all the stuff that usually gets cut from a resume, like how many pieces of art they created then threw in the trash, how many YouTube videos they watched to learn a technique, how many exhibitions they visited... There are so many rules to break! Taking risks is part of the artist's DNA but we often forget it.
I'm signing up for the risk! "What about turning your portfolio into a zine ..." I use Instagram as a creative portfolio and journal of sorts, like so many of us do. But over the past few weeks you've nudged my mind into a far better space: Make art and send it to people.
You reminded me to connect with my community instead of only depositing my ideas in a digital landfill. You've become that voice in my life that reminds me to do the things I already believe in. Thanks for your ideas, guidance, and support.
