See What Others Don't

Open your eyes, 

expand the boundaries of your perception of the world,

and discover career opportunities at every turn.

Imagine finding art in castles, shoe packaging, design museums, champagne bottles, daily planners, scarves, bags, walls, and magazines. Yes, all these places, and I’m not just saying this to grab your attention - though I hope I have.

You can only see these things when you explore the world with truly open eyes - curious, naive, hungry. Hungry for your own success and unwilling to settle for basic projects just to cover living costs.

You might ask, “HOW can I secure high-caliber collaborations? I haven’t created anything in the style that those brands might like.”

EXACTLY. You just answered your own question.

For those brands, no, you haven’t drawn anything yet. But YOUR style - it's already there. Remember, no one sets limits on your creativity or the level of your skills. Consider Blair Breitenstein, the iconic New York fashion illustrator working for globally renowned brands. Why her? Because she's brave enough to express her inner world on paper without hesitation.

Look at the development of works of Willem de Kooning who started with realistic paintings and evolved into abstract compositions, which some might describe as childish.

Remember Picasso's words, which I’ve mentioned before but bear repeating for their inspiration: “It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.”

The moral of the story ⬇️

✅ It’s not about mastering the most realistic and technically correct drawing style before searching for collaborations with iconic brands. ABSOLUTELY NOT.

It’s about having the courage to escape the perfection trap and to dismiss the critics (someone recently told me, "your perspective is too high." For them, maybe. For me, it's AWESOME and engaging). It’s about creating boldly and proclaiming your unique vision to the world. 

Be loud! Forget shyness! Tell the world about your unique outlook.

That's how you get noticed. You embody unique perfection without being perfect.
