BEING an artist can be tough. You’re up against so many others and the pressure to please an audience can be enough to send you into a clichéd height of madness. This is why we bring to you some clever tips from the industry’s best: Just Another Agency. Founding partner Toby shares 5 tips for all you budding artists out there.
TIP1: Be yourself – Don’t try and force your work to be like everyone else’s -have your own unique voice. That is what will always set you apart.
TIP2: Personality – Personality is key. The more you throw your personality into a project the better. You need to be connected to your work. Allow people so see a little piece of you with every email, sketch or painting.
TIP3: Motivation: Most, if not all artists will struggle with motivation at some point in their artistic career, find out what inspires and motivates you and let that help push you through those times of doubt.
TIP4: Never give up. You are always going to come across people that say ‘no’. Don’t ever let that get you down… “Every no gets you closer to a yes”
TIP5: Belief: Believe in yourself. If you want this bad enough then fight for it. If you don’t believe in yourself then everyone else will start to doubt you too.
