Honest Art Podcast with Jodie King Jodie King

Like forging your mom’s signature on your report card, your artist's signature cannot be copied or replicated. It may look great to you, but others can tell it is not unique.  
So, instead of trying to mimic what others are doing, it’s time we find our own style so our most authentic art can shine through. 
How can you do that? In this episode, I’ll give you all the details!

Size matters…with your art. 
So many artists think that just because they have a little skin in the game, they also need to size up their work. But that’s not true AT ALL. 
Size doesn’t necessarily equate to success. In fact, there’s a lot to consider before you start creating bigger pieces of work, and it may not be right for you depending on what kind of business you want to run. 
But if you’re curious about working with bigger canvases, and getting them to sell, this episode is for you!

Feeling uninspired? Find yourself comparing your work to others? Does art feel more like a chore than your lifeblood? Well, y’all…those are tell-tell signs of needing an artist’s detox. 
But it doesn’t involve rehab. Actually, it’s going to be WAY more fun! In this episode, we’ll unpack some of the root causes of feeling “meh” when it comes to your art. Then, I’ll show you how to “detox” and work past it with nature, music, and exploration. 
Let’s get your spark back, shall we?

This episode goes out to all the representational artists out there. Whether you paint chickens, cows, cars, or flowers, I hate to break it to you, but your work is probably missing one REALLY important thing….
YOU!
As a representational artist, it’s so easy to get swept up into creating a perfect piece. But the truth is, if you want to elevate and enhance what’s on the canvas, and make it, well, not boring AF, you’re going to need to infuse your own unique perspective into it. 
How can you do that? That’s what I’ll be talking about in this episode!

On this episode, I’m challenging the notion that, in order to be happy, we have to have the things we want. Instead, what if we focused on being the person who made those things possible? 
As artists, we’re so often holding ourselves back from happiness because we don’t “have” our goals yet. We don’t have a gallery show, we don’t have collectors, we don’t have a daily creative practice. The reality is, though, that we have to work on ourselves to make sure we’re the person who can make those goals a reality. 
We can’t find satisfaction with our art (or our lives!) until we settle the score with ourselves. We have to BE the person who can achieve those goals we set for ourselves.
Not sure what I mean or how you can flip the script from “having” to “being”? That’s what we cover in this episode, along with challenging your goals (why have you set them?) and figuring out WHO you need to be to attain those goals.
This is a juicy one, so don’t miss out!
