SaxoFunk is a classic from 2011. It was one of my very first digital art pieces. This is a very important illustration to me because it marks the beginning of my digital art journey. I remember so well - my first piece that took me like 40 hours to complete. Nice. haha
Here's some images of the process and some first experiments with SaxoFunk
And the final render.
Refreshed
One of the many great things about art, is you can always come back to change a piece later. With digital art specially, it's so easy to make changes. Save. Erase. Copy. Paste. You can always turn it into something new with such ease.
You can add some more bubbles, bring in some hipster glasses and add some cool text and voila!
Even after all these years, I felt like this piece deserved a little more time under the spotlight.

Recycling Art
Don't be afraid to reuse and recycle old art. A few little details can give an old piece new life, and a fresh new feeling and more emotion. I feel like there's too much unexploited potential in much of the stuff I've done in the past.
Exploitation and Exploration
I have source amnesia about this, the idea is not mine. It is about balancing efforts between the two to have the best career performance and growth. Experimenting is great, but if there's no exploitation there can also be stagnation. What good is art for if it doesn't leaves your room? Making it is rewarding and enough by itself and by using the internet to share it, it actually doesn't need to leave physically but it will float around in light form.
The point is, I think the world needs both people expressing through and making art, and also more people sharing their art with the rest of the people that don't make it. Think about how you can literally paint the world with color, emotion, intricacy, detail, passion, intention to make it appear how you mean to, not because of any economic incentive but because you really want to share those things with other people. Money shapes too much of our lives, I like to keep my art real that way.
Business doesn't care about art so we gotta make art our business.
