What Type of Artist Are You?
I was listening to an episode of the podcast “Unpublished” with Amie Mcnee and James Winestock where Amie had created artist archetypes. I love archetypes and personality quizzes, and throw into the mix life as a creative… I was all in. For some time now I’ve wanted to create my own archetype system, and listening to this podcast gave me the nudge I needed to just do it!

Saying Yes to All Your Creative Selves
Part of why I’ve struggled for so long to accept myself as a working multidisciplinary artist is that I’ve felt;
1. I need to niche to become “successful” ie get big/rich/famous/survive the insanity of the world
2. There is something wrong with me/ I lack focus and determination
3. I have difficulty finishing projects and bringing them out into the world. If I only did one thing this would magically be easier
I kept circling around this idea for so long, coming back to this block time and again. It was only recently that I realized what these other underlying stories are that I’ve begun to move away from this narrative.
