Finding your voice, sharing a vision

It might seem that no-one should be interested in your personal view of things. But you would be wrong. It is precisely a personal vision that is most engaging for others. Tried and true may generate some sales but is absolutely of no use in generating original art. What is needed is a vision, the ability to project a thought and foresee an outcome. As this is necessarily a scary proposition, we need to have courage. You will find your voice when you find your courage. There can be no safe way to make good art, it will always be a proposition with an uncertain outcome. Self-doubt comes with the territory. You just have to try it and even then you may not know if it was a good idea. But vision is a learned skill, you will get better at it by practicing. Sharing your vision is a matter of packaging, of formatting it and presenting it so that others can access it. Be assured, it is worth the trouble.
