Penny for your thoughts ...

Sun Oct 25, 2009, 6:16 AM
  • Mood: Uneasy
I have a question that I think would be best answered by unbiased/neutral third parties.

As I build my catalog of prints and such to offer, I cannot identify an overarching or unifying theme to my work. It is, to my eyes, a hodge-podge of different subjects in different styles. And my "portfolio," such as it is at this point, is composed of various works for various clients with varying needs. The work I do "for kicks" runs the gamut of my wide array of interests, influenced by the "inspiration of the moment," and is often restrained--or homogenized--by my anxieties about offending people. If you're wondering what I'm talking about, please check out the art galleries I have on ComicSpace:

Of course, this conundrum is complicating my efforts to effectively market my work and establish an online presence. The need to develop a website is going from "important" to "urgent," and a "brand" would simplify matters and, perhaps, dictate themes, formats and such.

So, do you have any thoughts or insights? As I implied, I'm too close to my work to get an adequate perspective on or appreciation for it, and I'm turning to you for guidance.

Thanks!
