It’s important for us to stay true to our art! 🎨🎙️🎤

Stay true! 🛣️
The artist’s journey, just like any journey, is rarely a straight path. You will have roadblocks, flat tires, and engine trouble along the way.
You may want to leave your car—a.k.a. leave the art style that makes you genuinely happy—for a vehicle that may seem more promising—a.k.a. a style, genre, or an entirely new art due to fears that your current style can’t “flourish,” be “likable or accepted by society”, and/or be “profitable.”

Many artists who make a living from their art don’t advise changing vehicles (I don’t either). While innovations, repairs, and enhancements to your art are necessary (and recommended because that’s what growth and getting better produce), a total change for a non-passionate course is not.
Through many versions, “failures,” and experimentation of my creativity, I’ve learned that passion is often the gasoline that accelerates our vehicle (our desire to continue growing and creating). I’ve also learned passion often resides within our ‘genuinely happy‘ art.
“If you don’t love it, you’re gonna lose to someone who does.” - Naval 🏁
The new vehicle may be shiny and sort after by many; however, with no gas, you won’t move to a distinguishable distance. You would also increase your chances of stress and anxiety due to a lack of happiness (from not engaging in the art that truly inspires you.)
Your art is YOUR art! 🎙️
While it’s recommended to be analytical—test different methods, theories, and assumptions— changing the type of art that generally makes you happy to people please or from fear isn’t recommended.
Passion is necessary for accelerating your artistic journey, and more than likely your passion lives within the genuine art you enjoy making! Stay consistent with the art you enjoy creating and watch your successful destination get closer and closer on your road to greatness.
