You do nottt want to miss this week's artist spotlight: featuring the amazingly talented @deplone_ 🙌🏻🌟 . One of his pieces that especially resonated with me, features a quote that I think pairs especially well with his unique, rebel aesthetic: “don’t trade your authenticity for approval.” 💪🏻 . Remember these words of advice as you travel along your own creative journey and you will inevitably find your own version of success. ✨ . As he shares in the interview, "Don't let other people influence your judgment... It should be about what you think of your own art." 🙌🏻 . Checkout this week's Star Castle Spotlight post to get inspired by his vaporwave aesthetic, get a behind-the-scenes peek into his creative journey & process, as well as tips for pursuing your own creative passion. 🎨 . starcastlestudio.com/blog/deplone or click the link in my bio checkout latest blog post 💖 . . . . . . . . . #artistspotlight #creativepassion #fineartist #digitalart #fineart #passionproject #digitalartist #illustration #artistsofinstagram #inspireothers #spreadcreativity #creativespotlight #creativehappylife #colorcompanion #studioscenes #creativesoul #goodvibesonly #makersgonnamake #vaporwave #synthwave #artistfeature #sharethelove #collaborationovercompetition #liveyourdream #spreadinspiration #artinspiration #artspiration #illustratorsofinstagram #artinspired
This weekend, I'll be trying to channel my bunny, Pepper's, chill relaxing vibes. 🐰💖 . February has been a crazy month for me, my business, and my family. Hoping to make time this weekend to catch up on the everyday to-dos that have been falling behind. 💪🏻 . What are your plans for the weekend? 🌟 . P.S. This glorious bunny photo shoot happened during this year's annual BunnFest. An amazing event in my town where crazy bunny parents (like me!) come together for activities, shopping, play dates, spa treatments (grooming & nail clipping), and mini photo shoots! 📸 . Honestly, one of my favorite days of the year. + my bunny is such an anti-social awkward child, it's always hilarious seeing her try to remember how to be a bunny. 💖😂 . . . . . . . . . . . #designerlife #passionproject #petbunny #bunnylove #furryfriend #stayinspired #makersgonnamake #solopreneur #mompreneur #spiritualbossbabe #youcandoanything #liveyourdream #findhappiness #sparkjoy #bunnymom #bunnytude #creativelifehappylife #houserabbitsociety #beingboss #risingtidesociety #furbaby #houserabbit #petrabbit #shareyourpassion #positivevibes #passionproject #shareyourstory #goodvibesonly
Been feeling so much love from this online space lately. 💕 To be honest, I don't have many friends I can meet up with in person, that's why it means even more to me when I meet fabulous connections online — and why I make a point to consistently show up and put love into each and every one of those relationships. 😘 . @italicizedcreative so thankful for our weekly check-ins and for the amazing power you've given to my designs through your amazing development skills! . @yourdesignerash I feel so lucky to have met you when we both were taking our design businesses full time. 😍 It's been soooooo great having a hilarious, encouraging friend to bounce ideas off of and send random gifs to. Excited for you to finally come to Florida to hang out with me (and get Chick-fil-A!) ☀️ . @thirtyeightvisuals I always loveee our coffee chats because you always find a way to make me laugh and smile so much my face hurts after. 😂 . @chelseabfoster thanks for believing in me and my business. With your support and coaching, I feel like I can do anything 💪 . There's many, many more of you incredible people out there, and even more I've yet to meet! Running your own business can be a lonely journey, and I'm so incredibly thankful to have found people that encourage, inspire and empower me to bring my best to the table (and keep my sanity through the process)! 💜 . What are you appreciating this Valentine's Day? . . . . . . . . . . #passionproject #stayinspired #makersgonnamake #spreadthelove #branddesign #artistbrand #artistsofinstagram #artfulentrepreneurs #etsysellers #etsyshop #makersunite #fineartists #galentinesday #collaborationovercompetition #mompreneur #solopreneur #spiritualbossbabe #beingboss #liveyourdream #handmademakers #spreadinspiration #goodvibesonly
Had a longggg drive today (3 hours each way) and I used the time to reflect and listen to some inspiring podcasts. 💜 . Inevitably, whenever I daydream, I wind up thinking about my business, my goals and what I'm ultimately looking to build in this crazy world. . Since I'm pretty equal parts creative & analytical (I was graphic design major and a math minor), it's hard for me to celebrate the wins without getting too wrapped into the 'could've been betters'. . Likewise, it's crippling when I get too lost in the creative side of things, only to step back and feel frustrated by the lack of structure. My mind's honestly a crazy place to be right now, and I'm just trying to make sense of it all... 💡✨ . Any fellow creatives struggling with crippling perfectionism? The best content I've ever stumbled upon that perfectly taps into this ongoing struggle is the Type A Creative by jenniheffernanbrown .  Her podcast is honestly so inspirational and resonates me with so deeply as I trudge through the 'making art for keeps', hanging onto my creativity, and balancing that with my overachiever tendencies and unrealistic expectations. . For all of you that are currently straddling this line as well, know you're not alone. If you need an extra set of creative eyes, or a math nerd to talk numbers — I'm your girl. . There's beauty in finding each other, sharing these quirks, and working through them together. . . Always looking for new friends to journey with. If you're interested in getting to know each other, don't hesitate to drop me a message. 💕 . I'd love to be your cheerleader. 😘 We all need more of them on this crazy thing called life. 👌 . . . . . . . . #spreadcreativity #spreadinspiration #collaboratingcreatives #liveyourdream #mompreneur #pastellife #kawaiilife #artistsofinstagram #purplehairdontcare #solopreneur #risingtidesociety #findyourtribe #beingboss #spiritualbossbabe #staycreative #yougotthis #mermaidhair #youcandoanything #liveyourpassion #brandyourbusiness #branddesign #youcandoanything #strongertogether #collaborationovercompetition #goodvibesonly
New brand debut!! Swipe to see more of the beautiful branded elements 💖🌟 . I had so much fun building a full brand style guide for @italicizedcreative 😍🌟 It was so rewarding to bring her dreams to life through a creative new brand design 💖 . Allyssa recently pivoted in her business to offer development for designers 💪🏻 Specializing in her zone of genius and cutting out the things in her business that didn’t light her up 🔥 . I paired hand done watercolor elements and textures with structured graphics and typography. It was fun being able to pull my paintbrushes out 🎨 . Make sure that when you switch directions in your business, your visuals follow suit and are updated to match your new goals, message and target audience 🙌🏻 . Have you changed direction in your business recently? Did your update your brand and visuals to reflect these changes? I’d love to help your branding catch up to your big ideas! 💡 .
