Stay focused, do what you like February 23, 2010

I know people who are active everywhere, in various sectors. I was overactive too until I talked to human resources and personal branding experts. They told me I should focus on things I like the most, things that I wanna work with in the future. After some balancing between the ambitions Art and blogging were the main answers, and that’s what I’m doing right now, here on DwA.

Photo by Tom Watson. He is currently a product designer for Facebook, designing their mobile products. Tom is an (I don’t like this word) amateur photographer too. I’ve found this photo on his Virb profile, which inspired me to write this article.

There is a situation when you have to drop some habits and start thinking about the future if you care about your career. I suggest you to write down the list of what you’ve done and what you are planning to do. For example, my plan was to start a new blog and connect my main passions art and blogging. First of all I wrote my blogging plan for 2010 and started working on design. After one month Die without Art (DwA) was born as my today’s *full-time* activity.

DwA’s main mission is to help *unknown* artists by publishing their stories/works. Maybe I can help you to find the audience, feel free to submit (submit@diewithoutart.com).

You don’t have to write a blog like me, just be yourself and follow your inside voice(s), you will not regret it. Good luck.

First creative month: Growing for 188,300.00% February 17, 2010

The first month of creativity and story sharing passed as the fastest train. If you followed that “train” every day, you know I’ve published over twenty articles through several categories such as photography, film, illustration and design.

Google Analytics makes me happy every midnight when I check the stats. I’ll keep those numbers my secret, but the percent of change is absolutely for the public – 188,300.00%. Are you kidding me, Google?

Hey there, dear friends.

I hope you understand how hard is doing everything alone to keep this blog alive. I've made it because I'm passionate about art & because I wanna celebrate it with you. I'm looking for more and I wanna share more, but I'm very busy doing commercial & personal photography work. So I paused a bit with blogging here.

You still can submit your art work and enjoy all hundered and ten published articles... till I come back with new interesting stories.

Make sure you have subscribed (rss) and you are following me on Twitter. Thanks. Much love!
