Style is a commitment

You don’t find style, you commit to style.

For the longest time, I would say I haven’t found my style.

The truth is, I wasn’t ready to commit. I wanted to explore and try new things. But if clients don’t know what I’m selling. How can they buy it?

So I committed to writing the kind of art I make. It was time to stop exploring and start producing.

“I make energetic and witty illustrations with a comic sensibility.”

Then I make a piece that shows that. And another. And another. I show the world what I’m selling.

And they start buying.

Before I committed to a style, I would feel envious of all the different styles out there. I would think, I could do that!

But after committing, I stopped being envious and am able to really enjoy the different styles of my peers and heroes.
