Welcome to the Mycreativeimages Magazine
Featured artists
Established artists, Emerging Artists, Hobby Artists,
what’s the difference?
This is a personal definition and I use it to help me
identify where I am in my personal artistic journey.
Established Artist: someone that has been a full-time
practicing artist for the last 5 years and regularly
sells their work and does not have another job to pay
the day to day bills.
Emerging Artist: they have developed the skills
associated with being an artist in their chosen area,
they have a body of work that clearly shows there
chosen style. They have had success in their career
with getting their art noticed, have made some sales
and been recognised or won prizes / awards relating
to their work. They have developed their own
personal brand and are committed to a career artist
but still rely on a full-time job to pay the daily bills.
Hobby Artist: someone that simply makes art for their
own pleasure, does not sell their work or plan to as
the creative process is reward enough for them.
Personally, I fall into the Emerging Artist category,
having built the basic skills to create photo-
art, making a small number of sales and being
recognised with 2nd places and special recognitions
in a number of international online art competitions.
MY focus now is developing a recognisable style
and body of work that reflect this whilst trying to
identify my ideal customer and how to engage with
them thereby allowing me to build my personal and
professional brand.
All the artists featured in this magazine fall into one
of these categories each of them are at different
stages in their personal development and are trying
to find their idea audience and build their own “fan”
base. This magazine is here to help them do that
simply by providing them with an additional platform
to show their work to potential fans who one day may
become regular customers.
You can help them do this, simply by visiting their
webpages or sharing this magazine with your friends
on social media. Each like and share helps artists
of all levels continue along their chosen career path
and take one more step on their artistic journey.
