Fun with layouts.
Looking at these one may think they are done by different people.
Unless of course you know me. Then you would recognize my style and variety.
Throughout college amd even filtering into after college, all the self proclaimed gurus will tell young creators - do one thing and do it well.
Thankfully, I am not a 2-dimensional thinker, doer, or believer.
A follower on deviantArt, and a stock artist I truly admire, once called me a modern Renaissance artist. Little did he know how that one comment would stick with me even to this day. Because to me, the Renaissance artists were my mentors and to be compared to their philosophy...well I can't even find the words to express how that made me feel.
I do understand the idea. Do one thing and do it well. And I do strive to be the best at that one thing. And that one thing is to create.
If I were to analyze myself, I would say it filters into even the day to day.
Let's break it further down and rewrite this statement.
Be the best you can possibly be with everything you do.
Doesn't mean you have to be #1. There will always be someone better, someone stronger, someone nicer, someone more generous, someone more successful.
But none of that should stop you from being the best version of you.
Be the best you can be at whatever you do. Doesnt matter if you're dead last. If that's your best, be proud of it because you gave it your all.
So I try new things. I succeed or I fail. And I learn. I either try again or try something new. But I try. And I show up, do the work, and continue to be the best I am. My competition is not you. Never was. Never will be.
I am trying to be better than the me I was yesterday.
Do one thing..? I will do many things. My followers are not 2-dimensional. Why would you expect me to be?
