WHAT MAKES A GOOD ILLUSTRATOR?
WHEN I THOUGHT OF THE ILLUSTRATIONS THAT I DID BELOW, I WAS SO TERRIFIED OF WHAT PEOPLE WOULD THINK OF ME. THOUGHTS RAN THROUGH MY HEAD SUCH AS: "WHAT IF PEOPLE THINK I WERE CRAZY?"I THINK ABOUT IT NOW, AND I THINK A GOOD ILLUSTRATOR IS NOT AFRAID TO TAKE CHANCES AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, DOES NOT CARE WHAT SOMEONE ELSE THINKS. I PUSHED THE BOUNDARY A LITTLE BIT WITH THE ILLUSTRATIONS, JUST A LITTLE. HOWEVER, NO MATTER HOW CRAZY SOMEONE THINKS I AM, IT IS THE ART THAT PUSHES BOUNDARIES, THAT IS DARING, AND IS CONTROVERSIAL, THAT GRABS THE MOST ATTENTION. MOST PEOPLE THAT ARE JUDGEMENTAL, ARE THE ONES THAT ARE NOT ARTISTS AND JUST PLAIN DO NOT GET IT. QUITE FRANKLY, WHO CARES IF THEY DO OR NOT? I HAVE HAD MY SHARE OF PEOPLE MAKING COMMENTS ABOUT MY ARTWORK. STATEMENTS SUCH AS I AM "ANGRY ABOUT SOMETHING" AND I NEED "PSYCHIATRIC HELP". QUESTIONS SUCH AS, "WHY IS YOUR ARTWORK SAD?"
WELL, MAYBE I AM CRAZY, BUT... THIS IS MY STYLE.
So vast is art, so narrow human wit.--Alexander Pope
