Originality is easier to recognize than manufacture.

Mike West | Artist Development

The thing that makes you interesting may not be the thing you think you’re selling.

The idea everyone around you thinks is too much. The combination of influences that shouldn’t work together but somehow does. The thing you almost edited out because you weren’t sure anyone else would understand it.

Artist development is partly about craft, but it’s also about learning what to trust. We can interrogate the work, test the instincts, sharpen the choices, find the right context and figure out what deserves to get louder.

You need to become more unmistakably yourself.
