First of all, thank you for honoring me with the award and I will try to get to it soon. Secondly, I think your chicken illustration is quite original indeed! I also think you have a very consistent style, so no need to worry about losing focus. Your art is very recognizable. All my best to you! And thank you again!!<br />xo,<br />Ann MarieAnn Marie DiVecchiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902866651914643713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630731538113577852.post-3958293844111522502011-01-21T10:33:19.860+07:002011-01-21T10:33:19.860+07:00Hmmm...I don't think "those" people ...Hmmm...I don't think "those" people necessarily thought we'd be doomed to a life of poverty (ok, some probably did!) but just thought we might not be able to make a living doing what we loved! I went to college for illustration (00-04) and although the ability to network has changed dramatically, I still think some of the same old school rules still apply. You need motivation, persistence, and yes, originality to be an artist...some business smarts don't hurt to have either! It's a process though, and sometimes a struggle, to be creative (especially when there's a "million" other artists illustrating the same topic!) I think your good though Amalia...actually, great. :) Keep on creating on!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630731538113577852.post-58325573426123799182011-01-21T08:37:23.620+07:002011-01-21T08:37:23.620+07:00absolutely brilliant!

Sometimes I think all artists ride a magnificent chicken through our creative lives~~one that is stubborn and makes abrupt turns clucks, squawks and more than a few wing shakes!<br />This is, to quote, the best of times, the worst of times, to be an artist. The best by far in the ability to connect all around the world with people and share/sell our creations. The worst in that it is easy to have art lifted and then reprocessed slightly into something else with someone else's name.<br />Artists step up to the plate and put their soul on the line for the whole world to see and judge. It takes guts to send work into the world and not coddle it at home where it is never seen except by those who will praise it, all safe, feelings totally intact. Easy to critique others from the safety of the computer screen. I don't put much stock in any of it. <br />Today's artist really has the world as their oyster, and the thing keeping them true is their conscience and drive to create *their* work. As in *your* work. Your soul speaks through. It is new. It is not something done before. You are aware of the challenge and meet it.<br />Cheers to the era of Steampunk chickens and the lovely women who ride them into the fray of the art world!!! ;-D<br /><br />XXOO~~♥<br />AnneAnne Huskey-Lockardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01642632328404951486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630731538113577852.post-74203264667832131862011-01-20T19:43:36.378+07:002011-01-20T19:43:36.378+07:00I'm very impressed: love your painting technic...I'm very impressed: love your painting technic!!!<br />I have to learn how to!Cinziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969136577434497903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630731538113577852.post-28317220766296244962011-01-20T19:38:52.850+07:002011-01-20T19:38:52.850+07:00My wanted
