So, my dear digifriend, Christine Honsinger has got to be one of the most talented girls I know and has an absolute heart of gold to match her talent. I so admire her for staying true to her vision but taking the time to branch out just enough to take my breath away with every kit she makes.
Sometimes the hardest thing for me to do as an artist is to not get caught up in creating what other artists have designated as popular. KWIM? Christine and a handful of other artists in my life consistently help me stay true to my often wonky course. They offer me a shoulder to cry on, a positive spin on a bleak outlook, and, most importantly they encourage me to be me. They consitently share the creative love with me, and although I haven't met most of them in person, I consider them some of my best friends. (Alicia, you are certainly included in this group!)
What is your creative struggle and who do you count on to help you feel like the fabulous artist that you are? Share with us, we love to know what you are up to!
Oh, the layout is made with Christine Honsinger's (Fiddlette) new kit, Graffitti Girl at her shoppe at ScrapArtist today! And as a sidenote, don't you think Lauren looks like a little monkey from the Wizard of Oz in this?! That's pretty stinkin' funny.
Love the layout.... very complex and happy at the same time. And she does look like one of those monkeys! Haha! Creative struggle? When isn't it a struggle? The ugly-beautiful process of creating is a maddening and rewarding all at the same time.

ReplyDeletefor me, my creative struggles are 1. using colors that i'm not drawn towards, 2. when doing something new, wondering if it's good and 3. managing my time.
