Have you ever been struck with envy? You know, the things that make you wonder about your own capabilities as an artist. <\/p>\n

How DOES<\/span> she does that?
\nHow does he manage to capture the emotion so well in his painting?
\nOh wow, I wish I could draw something like that.<\/p>\n

Well I do. <\/p>\n

I’ve always wanted to make art that was edgy and raw. Somehow I could never translate that into my work. I end up with cutesy characters and sunshine-y elements that somehow crept into the fold. So I would get jealous when I see a work that I wished I could make \u2013 if only I could force my hand to move that way!<\/p>\n

So I’d like to invite you to share your thoughts on the topic for issue #6 of the Good to Know zine:<\/p>\n

——————————————————————————
\nDo you get jealous\/envious when you view other people\u2019s work?
\nDoes it make you a better artist? How do you get over it?
\n——————————————————————————<\/p>\n

To participate:
\n1. Just reply to this e-mail with your response; and also
\n2. Add in your name + link to your blog\/portfolio\/shop<\/p>\n

And if you’d like to send in images to go along with your entry, that would be awesome! Here is a quick guideline:
\n1. The image should be in black and white, (dark grey is acceptable as well) – colors won’t show up well, so you can tweak your image to make it B&W.
\n2. Image must be at least 200 dpi for clarity, and be at least 1000 pixels wide.<\/p>\n

I can’t wait to see what you have to say about this topic, so please send in your answers by Friday, 16th October to be a part of the issue!<\/p>\n

All participants will get a free download of the PDF<\/span> of the issue.
\n(Psst, participants can also purchase the zine for keeps at a special price!)<\/p>\n

p\/s — Thanks so much for everyone who came along for the giveaway for the #5th issue that deals with the issue of whether it matters if you studied art. The zines have already been despatched to the lucky winners! To get a personal copy of your own, you can head here: http:\/\/pikaland.com\/staging\/goodtoknow<\/p>\n

Hope you’re having a lovely Friday!<\/p>\n

Warmest,
\nAmy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
