Having trouble getting a job in the art field or selling your artwork? Maybe you're bored or the work you do just isn't fun, anymore? Whatever it is, maybe it's time to re-evaluate your art life and try something new?
I know for me, I recently made a dramatic change in my career as a corporate and contract artist to do something completely different and start a whole new career, while keeping my art career in-tact, at home – but on my terms.
In the video, I simply discuss some of the ways to recognize if maybe it's time to re-evaluate whether we're still on-course with our passion for creativity, as well as our goals for what we expect from it.
Some of these include:
• Having a gut feeling that things are not progressing.
• Feeling like we're stuck in the mud, not going anywhere.
• We find more frustration than success.
• That we're doing art for the wrong reasons.
• That the goals we've set have come and gone.
• When we understand the concept that "change returns success."
• Discovering that we've lost the passion for our work.
• When we just give away our work on social media or to a job.
• When money becomes the issue.
• We have a strong desire to simply try something new.
As aways, I'd love to hear your feedback on this discussion, so please feel free to leave your comments below. Thank you so much for your time watching. ~ Mark
