...thanks for the shout out!<br /><br />here are some tips...<br /><br />sit down and write down all the common threads that run throughout all your projects. what is the common theme? is it color, the layout, etc?<br /><br />write down your criteria when you want to make something. the main things YOU always like to make sure you have, like function, a happy vibe, lots of color, etc?<br /><br />make it more visual - if you had to describe your work/style to someone on an elevator, how would you relay your art into words? you have to make a picture with words. i like to take TV shows and pop culture references. like my art style is like ugly betty-meets-frida kahlo-meets-a Bollywood musical! you canhave alot of fun with this game. you can say "ed hardy-meets-martha stewart", etc...<br /><br />once you do these things it will really help you refine your signature style and brand!<br /><br />your work is awesome, good luck!! <br /><br />peace, love, and glitter1<br />kathy :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996714271075159654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11888629.post-51337233810229466702009-04-15T14:50:00.000-09:002009-04-15T14:50:00.000-09:00like yer new bannerlike yer new bannerChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608720704163044033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11888629.post-7931178675261587602009-04-15T14:49:00.000-09:002009-04-15T14:49:00.000-09:00I have heard from two different sources this week ...I have heard from two different sources this week something I have known all along but keep forgetting. If you zero in on your purpose, your direction, what you're passionate about, and start moving, everything will fall into place. It won't necessarily be easy. But opportunity and preparation will collide.<br /><br />I think your style is functional, colorful, whimsical, playful. I think it's a direct line to the 50s and 60s. But without the reverence. <br /><br />I hope you get into the fair. I would buy your zippies in every size. You have told me not to order them, but I may have to violate that. so, neener neener.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608720704163044033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11888629.post-53392617749677664402009-04-15T10:31:00.000-09:002009-04-15T10:31:00.000-09:00You are SO showing off with those zips.

Or a kangaroo.) xKittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16259837826944310404noreply@blogger.com
