Dug Waggoner 's comment on When Time is Short and Inspiration is High

High Five Vianna! Back in the day in my professional career as a graphic designer and illustrator I had the stigma of being a chameleon. The high point of that assumption came in a workshop I attended for illustrators. Part of being an attendee was to bring a set of slides for a crit by the faculty members. The judgment of my work that was leveled still sting today when I recall those remarks. I understand that an artist needs to stand out with their own style but to assume that, "This artist doesn't know who they are, it's all over the ballpark" still reverberates today. But I still like changing my approach to an image be it style-wise or technique. Your playing with different media hits home in the fact that you still maintain the design elements but are free to say it in a fresh response anytime you feel the muse. Bravo!
