Every designer’s question. Do I go with the flow?

Creating art pieces is not going to get you any money!

Are you sure of that? I am sure I’m not the only person who thinks this way, but I am just soooo tired of forcing myself to create a piece that is stunning but also sellable, at a reasonable price so people can afford it. And you know what, even when I make sellable pieces many people don’t buy them. And that’s when I say WHO CARES! This time if you feel you want to do it, I say you go with the flow and do it! Create what your heart tells you, I’m not saying you have to do it every time, but just sometimes… and you know why:

•        Because certainly you have something to say, and this is the better way you have to just shoot it all out, Fashion, graphic, writing, design wherever it is you are working on, if you feel bored and you want to slightly change it to make it a little bit edgier, artistic, incredible, so? Stop just for a moment and if it is possible for you DO IT!

•          Who said that it is not going to get you money? Many famous painters didn’t know they were going to be famous for that ugly thing they made without a profound thought. We never know what work of art will bring us to the right people at the right time.

•          What’s the matter with been different, unique, wacko or original? Even if we never are, we feel like we are when we create, and I think that is very important not just for our artist’s sensitive egos, but is also important for the construction of a designer’s personality, an identity which we can all feel comfortable with.

•        Going with the flow means you don’t leave everything for this, don’t leave your job or family or other issues. But at night when nobody is watching maybe you can dedicate a little time to feel free and create what your heart tells you. Just to have a good night sleep. It would free your mind so maybe in the morning you would have another perspective of what you are doing with your job and your life.
