Changes for 2022
Its been quite a while since I did a blog post and I figured what better one to do than changes for 2022!
There's been a couple of things I've been looking forward to this year when it comes to art. For one I'm a fan of going to conventions and this year I'll be getting the chance to go back to San Diego Comic Con again which had been cancelled due to the pandemic 2 years ago. Although I like a lot of things about comic con, artist alley is one of the best parts (but of course!). I've met a number of artists there, most of which I didn't know about beforehand although I have met a few who I've discovered online. This year there's gonna be an artist or two who'll show up that I'm really looking forward to meeting as I'm a fan of their work. It'd be neat to get a table myself one day and get to meet some fans of my own work. Perhaps I'll blog about the convention later on this year? It would give me another topic to blog on which brings me to my next thing:
More blog posts! I've had my blog going for a few years now and thins have been slowly building up, but I feel like it could use more oomph and variety in what I blog about. This year I'd like to make some different topics I haven't done and more of them in general.
Another would be making some progress when it comes to doing personal projects. I've been saying for a while now that I was going to get on some personal projects although have yet to do it since I got focused on other things like doing illustrations and family life. Well this year marks a change as there's definitely some stuff I want to get to and I'll make it an effort to prioritize things. I can't say what the projects are just yet in case they don't pan out haha, but things should pan out if I put my mind to it. There'll definitely be a blog post about it so stay tuned in the coming months!
One other thing would be to get better at understanding what a personal brand is and building one. Although this not necessarily a long term goal like the above stuff, its still a big goal of mines that I want to make some headway with. If you've ever seen some graphic designer websites you'll know what I'm talking about. Although I'm not much into the graphic design world, I do think they know what they're doing when it comes to making a solid personal brand that stands out. Maybe there's some cues I can borrow from them to improve my own brand? Maybe doing something with my blogs would be a good start haha.
While the last 2 years since the pandemic began have been rougher than sandpaper, I think 2022 is going to be a good year. It has been so far so I'm hoping it stays this way. Anyhow, here's for 2022!
