No matter how hard the market is or how unachievable things may seem, there's always a one step at a time approach. The process of trying until you make it and you will eventually tap into something, especially if your company grows overtime. It shows that you are someone to trust if you are willing to show your progress.

My journey, although a slow one (because of full time work) is one I am proud of so far. I'm happy to work on things when I can and it's always excited to see more and more people engaging in my work and giving me feedback too.

I only hope that things can keep evolving and that I can support others and their journey too. I want to build on a good community and meet more like-minded creatives.

Keep being amazing.

Artist Statement: My name is Jack, I'm a digital artist in Brisbane, Australia. I'm a creator and my dream is to showcase my digital drawings and paintings at artist markets. To have my own store and to meet new people in the community.
This all started because of drawing for a video game I was helping to create at university (sounds fun/was stressful). These little drawings (hundreds of them needed in a game of course) evolved my desires from pencil and paper to digital creations.

My brand is called "Think Outside the Octopus" and my art is all about thinking outside of the box, my art consists of bright colours, animals and loveable characters. I want to bring my brand to life, to showcase something special.

I already have the illustrations either planned out or sketched out.(mostly consist of nature / animal related pieces that I hope will inspire others too.)

Think Outside the Octopus planning for the markets:

• My logo printed on direct to garment + sewing a table runner and tablecloth (no booth of mine is going to be plain and dull.
• Square tap and pay device.
• Display stand/ white rack to display my work.
• prices clearly market with stickers I've designed.
• Cardboard backings for the art pieces to prevent bending and bags for customers.

Check my stuff. Can't wait to showcase some of my pieces. Using Fourthwall to bring my illustrations to product, I'm hoping to continue my creations and eventually join those artist markets too. 🥰

I hope there are lots of friends and support out there that I will find throughout this journey. Just need to keep creating.

Working on a snake shirt that grabs attention, this ones been severed and still looks fierce. I'm hoping to now work longer projects that take up more time with a better end result but my living situation isn't the best. Need to move, need to create a studio space, need to work hard!!
