Quote for the week

Marcos Chin - "I remember being a senior in art college and trying extremely hard to find a style that would get me more work; the thing that I didn’t realize at the time, was that my style would find me."

"And moving forward that is how I continue to approach my craft - I try my best to draw in a way that interests me, and to come up with ideas that move me - the moment I become bored or frustrated I focus on my process and just let the work that I am doing figure itself out. It’s a very non-linear way of thinking, but it works for me - putting myself metaphorically into a space that is uncomfortable and then blindly moving through it that helps to evolve my work (and style) on it’s own. Again, I don’t search for a style, the style finds me."

"Moreover, don’t worry so much about what others think about your work - hush those demons in your head that challenge your process and confidence while you are creating - this industry can be very difficult at times, and very hard to navigate through if you are constantly questioning yourself and your work - instead, just do the work, be prolific; over time your work will improve."
